Instruction is at the heart of great education.
We provide the outside perspective and expertise needed to take instructional practices to the next level, move through challenges, and continue to refine implementation to reach all learners. Our instruction services include:
MTSS Development
Meeting the needs of each and every student with a finite number of resources can be overwhelming. However, making data driven decisions rooted in ensuring each child’s success is essential. Our services help schools and districts implement Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) so that all students are served. We simplify MTSS for teachers and staff through a data-driven and strategic approach that builds capacity and leads to better student outcomes.
Educational Model Audit
If there is an absence of alignment in your school or organization, or if you are lacking the capacity and coherence to achieve what needs to be done, Thrive can offer the insight and actions needed to change course. Our support leverages internal wisdom and external expertise to uncover root causes and identify new opportunities. An educational model audit can solve persistent problems through actionable steps, making way for greater impact.
Instructional Coaching
If you have a plan but are not finding success in its implementation, Thrive can help move you towards action. It can be hard to find an internal thought partner that you can be fully vulnerable with, or who will challenge you in a way that can help you grow. Our instructional coaching provides leaders and educators with the ongoing support needed to avoid stagnation and build momentum. It fosters continuous improvement though positive inquiry, and ensures teams stay the course and students succeed.
Professional Development
Adult learning experiences can be transformative, but often take more time and capacity to plan for than exists within organizations. Thrive provides technical assistance, just-in-time support, and retreats that take your team from idea to impact, building capacity and fostering sustained progress. This also allows leaders the opportunity to participate in learning alongside their teams and share the experience together.
