Derived from nearly four decades of research and replication studies in poor and working class communities, Pearson Learning Teams is a well-defined and fully articulated school improvement model with an explicit framework to guide teacher collaboration efforts and build leadership capacity of administrators and teacher leaders. Learning Teams protocols uniquely facilitate the systematic and continuous study of teaching and help teachers develop specific instructional solutions based on evidence from the classroom.

“The #1 goal is improving student achievement… We’re getting a change in the conversation in our schools, better lessons for our youngsters, teachers to reexamine practice. We’re getting results for students. It is all translating to student performance.”
