What is the Impact of Your Professional Development?

At TeachFirst, we care that your school is making gains. This year we interviewed and surveyed district administrators, principals, and teacher-leaders across the country to understand the key benefits  TeachFirst is providing for schools. They shared with us the value that TeachFirst has brought to their schools and districts.

100% of surveyed principals indicated that TeachFirst’s model has increased the efficacy and consistency of high quality instruction across their schools.

A walk-through of over 300 classes at a large urban high school reported the designated strategy (Cornell Notes) was being implemented in 86% of classes.

In a recent survey, 100% of principals indicated that their teachers are now meeting to focus on specific instructional strategies.  Their TeachFirst PLCs aren’t “just another meeting.”

In another survey, 88% of secondary school teachers credit TeachFirst with helping change the culture of their school to one of collaboration, professionalism, and literacy.

After just 4 months, 89% of secondary teachers surveyed noted student learning benefits in their classrooms, including clear expectations, increased organizational skills, and effective use of specific instructional strategies.

Secondary teachers have reported seeing increased homework completion, improved parent involvement, and improved bi-monthly classroom testing.
