Mobilizing teachers as a solution to a complex, urgent global challenge.
TeachUNITED is successfully tackling the learning crisis by investing in teachers, one of the most powerful levers for addressing inequities in education and, ultimately, poverty. Research shows that teacher quality is the single biggest school-related factor in student success in school and beyond.
Our model for education transformation stands out from other teacher training programs due to our high-touch program design and long term commitment.
Coaching
By including coaching throughout the school year, the skills are embedded and sustained. A high quality workshop typically results in 10-15% of skills transferred to practice. Workshop plus coaching increases the skill transfer rate to almost 85%. (Sanders & Rivers 1996)
Pedagogy
Participants are trained and coached in research-based strategies that are proven to close learning gaps of 2-3 years in a single year. These strategies are pedagogy-based to tangibly shift educator practices and have the highest effect on student success. (Visible Learning, 2022)
Long-term Commitment
While other programs offer a one day, or one week training, with minimal or no follow-up, our program lasts a minimum of 6 months, and includes small group activities, personalized 1:1 coaching hours, and continual touch points so teachers internalize new skills. Consistent, long-term, follow-up ensures educators practice, refine, and embed new skills in the classroom leading to real, sustained transformation. As a result, our impact is both immediate and enduring.
Our Tools and Strategies
Our research-based model is rooted in an international meta-analysis of 80,000+ educational research studies and focuses on strategies proven to have the most impact on student outcomes. Tailored to each school and classroom needs, these tools and strategies complement any content area, curriculum, or grade level.
