How does this help educators?

Teachers get support creating fun, hands-on learning that really connects with students. Coaches team up with them to build lessons that encourage student voice, boost understanding, and let kids show what they’ve learned in different ways. They also help find the right digital tools for giving quick feedback and personalizing learning. On top of that, coaches share tips for making online spaces more inclusive and easier for all students to use.
