Ways We Can Support Your District

Learning Support

In the learning phase, services focus on equipping educators with the knowledge, skills, and strategies necessary to enhance their teaching practices and improve student outcomes. Once districts determine what their priority areas of focus will be, the AEA team will collaboratively design a plan that addresses the unique modes of support to best accomplish your district goals.

Implementation Support

In the implementation phase, services focus on putting educational plans and strategies into action. This involves coaching and support around the implementation of evidence-based practices; ongoing professional development; structured time for planning, reflection, and collaboration; resource integration; and monitoring progress to ensure successful execution and sustainable improvement in student learning outcomes.

Sustainability Support

In the sustainability phase, services aim to maintain and build upon the progress achieved during implementation. This involves ongoing support, evaluation, and refinement of initiatives to ensure their continued effectiveness and relevance to student needs. Capacity-building efforts empower educators and stakeholders to sustain positive changes and foster a culture of continuous improvement within the learning community.
