“Protocols & Tools”
True North Brooklyn consultants provided targeted support to our ILT, trained teacher team leaders to facilitate effective team meetings and equipped the ILT with protocols and strategies like Instructional Rounds, which allowed us to assess and address student needs comprehensively.

“Aligned Plan”
Our work with True North clarified the steps for inquiry filtering down from the ILT to teacher team work into classrooms. We saw gains in assessments related to the inquiry work, from student work in class to screeners to Regents scores.

“Shared Vision”
Working with True North, I learned to use coaching cycles to guide my teachers in analyzing the writing standards in order to adjust instruction. As a result of the coaching cycles, we saw students able to write much longer, expressing more complex ideas. My coaching improved, and so did my teachers’ understanding of how to increase student learning.
