Making the Shift to Online Instruction?
Educators around the world are transitioning from live classrooms to teaching online. This adjustment won’t be easy, but with the support of an online instructional coach, you’ll have more success with less stress.
Your coach will help you plan and conduct your online lessons. We’ll answer your questions about technology, and help you master online assessments.
Technology
Our tech coaches can help you choose a platform or get the most from the tools you already use.
Planning
How does scheduling and lesson planning change when moving school online? Our coaches can help.
Practice
Get help with best practices in online instruction, from direct instruction to project-based learning.
Assessment
Measuring outcomes can be challenging at a distance. We’ll help you keep track of your students’ growth.
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.

Two coaching sessions: plan lessons, review student work, or review best practices.
