Teacher-leader pathways for continuous growth
Enable your teachers to undertake rich, evidence-based professional learning
Teachers' learning needs are varied: some might be focused on National Board Certification, while others are interested in cross-classroom alignment for students.
Edthena Video Coaching is a single platform that can support a variety of professional learning styles. For the different types of learning, Edthena helps stay grounded in the practice of analyzing actual classroom teaching.
Overcoming resistance to coaching
Some teachers may not be comfortable opening their classrooms to others
There are many reasons that teachers may not be ready to invite you in for a coaching conversation.
AI Coach by Edthena offers teachers the benefit of a private coach with whom they can share an assessment of their teaching, develop a near-term goal, and set an action plan for change. Plus, teachers earn PD clock hours for completing coaching cycles.
Want easier principal walkthroughs?
Virtual classroom walkthroughs empower teachers and free your schedule
