Drive Ongoing Growth and Increase
Educator Effectiveness

Observe

Simplify remote observation and expand the capacity of coaches by enabling providers to record video of themselves working with children and families and share it to receive targeted, timestamped feedback and recommendations, all within the TORSH Talent platform. Integrated observation forms, frameworks, rubrics, and fidelity checklists ensure consistency among coaches and centralize all materials and activities.

Coach

Automate the pairing of learners with coaches for both just-in-time and ongoing sessions. Conduct synchronous online coaching using built-in video conferencing, or coaches can provide asynchronous feedback along with self-paced learning pathways and courses to support high-quality practice and fidelity of implementation.

Collaborate

Provide opportunities for educators to offer feedback to their colleagues, share best practices, brainstorm innovative solutions, and work together to achieve goals using TORSH Talent online discussion forums and synchronous video meeting tools. School districts can also build a library of exemplar videos and other resources to improve and standardize practice.

Reflect

Support self-reflection, practice improvement, and fidelity of implementation by providing exemplars, frameworks, rubrics, and checklists so teachers can review their practice videos through a structured, productive lens. Coaches and learners both can set goals, create action steps, and track progress.

Measure

See the impact of professional learning and coaching on educator growth and literacy practice improvement with TORSH Talent’s detailed reports. Real-time monitoring of individual and group engagement with coaches and resources and progress in reaching goals provides school districts with insight into where professional learning can be adjusted and strengthened.

Science of Reading Is Better
With Professional Development

Dr. Ronda Fritz, Ph.D.

Associate Professor of Education | Eastern Oregon University

“ I think that what it’s missing, in terms of professional development for teachers, is that side by side coaching situation where someone is guiding them as they are trying to implement these methods in their classrooms. Because without that ongoing professional development and support, that knowledge may not be helpful for a lot of teachers. So we have to think of this more as a multi component of professional development rather than just dumping knowledge onto teachers, which is great and it’s important but it’s not the whole picture.”
