“An exciting proposal for how the new science of expertise can inform the design of learning systems supporting the improvement of performance of professionals, especially teachers. Frontier and Mielke show how the status quo…can be transformed into designed learning environments, where teachers receive actionable specific objective feedback and guidance for developing themselves into their own coaches to continue their life long professional development.”

“Evaluation to “weed out” ineffective teachers and “reward” effective teachers has simply not worked because the movement was solely focused on measuring teachers as opposed to helping them grow. Frontier and Mielke have provided a template for the new era of teacher evaluation. It is based on sound research and theory, sound insights, and, most importantly, the right vision for the future.” Robert Marzano CEO of Marzano Research

By providing the processes and protocols that empower educators to effectively reflect on their professional practice, teachers can actually improve their teaching. Here’s how to optimize the impact on student learning.”
