T4 Proposal.pdf
Summary: The District would like to ratify an Agreement with T4 Learning to provide five (5) days of classroom coaching and professional development for the District Academic Coaches focusing on the design, delivery and debriefing of the coaching model. T4 Learning is designed to transform teaching and learning by strengthening first and best instruction and providing multiple and continuous opportunities for student focused collaboration and inquiry. T4 Learning will assist the District Academic Coaches with instructional strategies for increased student engagement and mastery, common core standards and daily lesson objectives, strategies for checking and understanding efficacious instruction and mastery of CCSS and ELD standards and high engagement strategies for lesson design.

The total cost of service for five (5) days of Common Core State Standards Classroom Coaching Design, Deliver, and Debrief Professional Development for teachers and instructional coaches is $12,500.

This Agreement is being brought forward as a ratification due to an oversight in Educational Services by not including these five (5) additional days to the initial Agreement. The initial Agreement with T4 was approved by the Board of Trustees on June 19, 2019.
Funding: The cost for this item will be included in the 2019-20 operating budget, funded through the Low-Performing Students Block Grant, not the General Fund.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Trustees ratify the Agreement with T4 Learning to provide five days of Teacher Training and Professional Development in curriculum, instruction, teaching and learning for the District Academic Coaches.
