PEP Services

Performance Education Partnership's service model is based on an in-depth analysis of each system’s current reality and is developed with each client's unique needs being addressed.

When teams of educators commit to be F.I.R.E. starters, “Focusing direction, Inquiring to deepen learning, Reflecting collaboratively, and Empowering through shared accountability,” PEP’s research-based, theory-to-action approach, has proven results with educational organizations distinguished by integrated social-emotional learning, sustainable improvement of leadership, data-driven instructional pedagogy, and improved equitable student learning outcomes.

Description of Services

The Phoenix

Strategic integration opportunities at the beginning, middle and end of the year for the Superintendent and Educational Services is provided to assess the organization’s progress, develop desired outcomes, determine next steps, engage school site leaders in co-learning, and collaborate to prepare for action.

The Rise

Coaching and planning with Educational Services Directors and district TOSAs is provided throughout the school year to monitor interim progress, debrief services across the organization, design district leadership team or principal sessions, and facilitate professional learning experiences for site leaders.

The Flame

Principal coaching and admin team planning occurs through a two-part session. First, site principals receive individualized coaching around leadership and instruction to empower and lead their teams in co-planning and co-facilitating their site leadership team meetings. Next, the principal engages their admin team and instructional coaches to facilitate site leadership team meetings and/or staff meetings to connect teachers in high-quality professional learning.

The Renewal

A cohort of site Principals (and/or Vice Principals) receive training designed to deepen pedagogical expertise and leadership skills, while expanding on the content of professional learning sessions provided to staff. In partnership, this model of instructional coaching includes methods for effective instructional feedback, communication of impact on student learning, and infusion of innovation across the system (e.g. learning rounds, student work analysis, instructional rounds, etc.).

The Portent

Professional learning opportunities are provided to designated teacher teams (or whole staff) to deepen learning around pedagogical practices. Customized content can include: Developing rigor; delivering high-impact instruction; differentiating to close equity gaps; and content-based best practices. Full-day sessions provide guidance and time for teachers to co-plan “The Transformation” lesson study.

The Transformation

Identified teams of teachers receive in-classroom instructional coaching to apply the knowledge and skills gained in “The Portent” professional learning session. A host teacher and the coach co-teach the lesson in action while other team members observe and collect evidence of impact and learning. The team debriefs the lesson, examines the evidence, refines the lesson, and repeats the process in another team member’s classroom.
