TeachersRB Educational Consulting provides onsite coaching, observation, planning, and feedback for capacity building in schools and school districts. We can also provide support between onsite visits via distance learning and computer-based resources.

Our Strategies

The strategies we use to help schools and districts implement and evaluate research-based practices include:

  • Enhance collaboration through group inquiry-based discussions
  • Assess professional development needs and recommend strategies
  • Design professional development workshops and school improvement initiatives

  • Testimonial

    "Rebecca Burns is a caring, dedicated, knowledgeable, and extremely competent facilitator.  She has the ability to assess problem areas in teaching practices objectively. She is committed to working with teachers and administrators to solve problems by identifying intervention activities, implementing those activities, monitoring the effects on students and teachers, and fine-tuning the process as necessary.  When she worked with my staff at Stonewall Jackson Middle School, she made a significant difference in the attitudes and teaching strategies of the teachers, which led to an increase in student achievement.  I highly recommend her!" -- Carol Thom, Director of Professional Development (former principal of Stonewall Jackson Middle School), Kanawha County (WV) Schools.

    Use tools such as curriculum mapping to insure continuity and consistency of curriculum and instruction
  • Provide coaching and resources to improve teaching and learning
  • Conduct classroom observations and provide feedback for individual teachers to support successful implementation of reform initiatives
  • Train teachers to use multiple forms of student assessment and to use data to improve instruction
  • Identify and use effective teachers as coaches and mentors

Schools and districts that work with us can anticipate accelerated reform; increases in teacher, school, and district capacity for improvement; and positive results for students.
