Educator Coaching and Training

National studies have shown that teacher quality is seen as the most important variable affecting student achievement, even more so than demographic factors. In fact, effective teaching can generate impact at four times the rate of ineffective teaching. Understanding this, The Learning Alliance celebrates educators and provides them with resources to ensure that the science of reading is taught effectively in every K-3 classroom.

• Literacy Badges and Micro-Credentials ensure educators have the knowledge and skills to teach the science of reading effectively 
• Moonshot Institute Professional Development provides best practice workshops and training for all educators.
