How do we work with you?
What a Partnership with AEC Looks Like
Kickoff & Planning
We begin with an in-depth needs assessment and collaborative goal-setting process to ensure alignment between your team and ours.
Implementation & Training
Through workshops, coaching sessions, and ongoing feedback, we bring the plan to life, always working hand-in-hand with your educators and leaders.
Monitoring & Adjusting
Using data, we evaluate the impact of our efforts and adjust strategies as needed to maximize success.
Sustainability & Exit
We transition ownership to your team by equipping them with the tools, skills, and systems to continue the progress independently.
1.
We build a Collaborative Partnership.
Discovery and Visioning :
We start by engaging with your leadership and teams to understand your school or district’s unique challenges, strengths, and goals. Through facilitated discussions, we co-develop a shared vision for success.
Co-Design of Solutions :
Instead of offering prepackaged plans, we collaborate with your team to tailor solutions. This might include curriculum audits, data analysis sessions, or facilitated planning days where we co-create strategies that align with your goals.
Implementation Support :
Our consultants don’t just provide advice—they work side by side with your team to plan and implement the strategies, offering guidance and real-time feedback every step of the way.
Common Strategies:
Establish Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) to foster peer collaboration and continuous improvement.
Facilitate cross-departmental alignment communication to ensure consistency between your counterparts in this work.
Conduct regular coaching and feedback cycles to refine practices.
Utilize protocols like Tuning Protocols or Data Dives to bring clarity and focus to planning.
“In a recent partnership, we worked with a middle school leadership team to realign their instructional goals with state standards. Over a series of collaborative workshops, we helped teachers develop unit plans that incorporated scaffolding for diverse learners, built formative assessments into daily instruction, and increased teacher ownership of student outcomes.”
2.
We cultivate Accelerating Learning Outcomes.
Gap Analysis :
Using your available data sources, we help your team identify key areas where your stakeholders and team need support and ensure those needs are prioritized in planning, execution, and responsive iteration.
High -Impact Strategies :
We equip your team with strategies and mindsets to address critical gaps in skill, will, emotional intelligence, knowledge, and capacity that impact access to and effectiveness in teaching and learning. Through hands-on training, we lead your team and their leaders to build the ownership in the expertise, motivation, and systems needed to engage each and every student.
Hands-on Coaching :
Our consultants work alongside classrooms, schools, and district teams to ensure everyone is equipped to succeed. We observe, provide actionable feedback, and model effective teaching and leadership practices to empower educators and leaders to implement new strategies with confidence. True to our belief in partnership, we walk what we talk—collaborating at every level to create meaningful, sustainable change that aligns with your goals.
Common Strategies:
Train teachers in using Visible Learning techniques, where students track their progress through success criteria and rubrics.
Implement formative assessment loops to provide timely feedback and adjust instruction in real time.
Use guided practice frameworks to gradually release responsibility to students, ensuring they can succeed independently.
Build student ownership through strategies like goal-setting conferences and personalized learning pathways.
“In one district, we guided teachers to implement formative assessments in math classrooms to track students’ conceptual understanding. Using data from these assessments, teachers adjusted their lesson plans to include targeted interventions, which resulted in a 15% increase in math proficiency scores over one school year.”
3.
We Empower Sustainable Change.
Leadership Development :
We work with school and district leaders to build their capacity to drive change by facilitating workshops on instructional leadership, data-driven decision-making, and creating a culture of continuous improvement.
Coaching Models :
We help schools and districts institutionalize internal coaching systems that provide ongoing professional development, ensuring teams receive continuous support after our partnership ends.
Systems Thinking :
We assist schools and districts in building repeatable processes, such as collaboration protocols, data analysis routines, and goal-setting frameworks, to ensure improvements are sustainable.
Common Strategies:
Develop coaching cycles where teacher-leaders observe peers, provide feedback, and model effective instructional strategies.
Establish data-informed decision-making protocols to regularly assess progress and adapt plans.
Train teams to use tools like root cause analysis or Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles to address challenges systematically.
Create a shared leadership model, distributing responsibilities among teams to embed accountability and ownership across the school.
“In one partnership, we worked with a district to create a tiered coaching model where teacher-leaders were trained to provide ongoing instructional support. These teacher-leaders facilitated monthly peer observation sessions, coached colleagues in real-time, and helped embed a culture of continuous improvement, sustaining gains long after our engagement concluded.”
