We’ll empower you to engage your students, impress your admin, and still leave time for what matters most.

Benefits of Instructional Coaching for Teachers
Ownership
We’re not here to tell you what to do. Our coaches provide stepping-stones that allow you to meet your goals. Define your vision — we’ll achieve it together.
Experience
Our coaches are experienced teachers who know what it takes to succeed in the classroom. They’ve learned the hard way, so you don’t have to.
Flexibility
Schedule coaching sessions at your convenience. Wednesday evening in the comfort of your own home? Saturday mornings at a coffee shop? It’s up to you!
Personalized
Our coaches adapt to your needs and your classroom. There are no stupid questions. Sessions are tailored to ensure you get the very best from us, and yourself.
Current
Our library of resources is constantly evolving. Your coach will help you stay up-to-date on the latest in technology, teaching practice, and time-management.
I’ve been to some amazing workshops, but usually felt overwhelmed when I came back to my classroom and tried to implement everything I had learned.
Working with Jeff from Room to Discover was different. He took the time to get to know my personality and teaching styles – it always felt like I was being supported, rather than judged.
