ELEVATE CORE INSTRUCTION WITH LSI GROWTH TRACKER
Schools spend thousands of dollars on PD, hoping to increase teacher effectiveness and raise student achievement. And yet, leaders still struggle to know if the investment is working.
- Are teachers implementing new strategies as a result of training?
- Is the investment in PD resulting in higher student achievement?
- Are all teams engaged in deep collaborative learning?
- Are teachers getting clear feedback on how to improve their instruction?
LSI Growth Tracker ensures every teacher receives PD that is high-quality, job-embedded, and focused on instructional strategies proven to raise student achievement.
Affordable and scaleable, the standard package delivers the equivalent of three years’ worth of traditional PD, for a cost comparable to a single on-site PD date.
LSI Growth Tracker is not just another library of videos or online courses. Its web-based platform facilitates meetings and delivers research-based content, but the most powerful professional learning takes place in classroom practice and meaningful dialogue with peer coaches.
Embed new learning into practice with...
- Step-by-step guidance for structuring teacher team meetings around professional development and student learning, including agendas

This rare combination of accountability within a risk-free environment leads to remarkable changes in lesson design, lesson delivery, student work, and ultimately, student achievement.

COLLABORATION IMPROVES PRACTICE
Ensuring world-class teaching in every classroom is a tall order. But with a collaborative approach to professional learning and a focus on high-impact instructional strategies, sustainable success is possible.
Fortunately, most teachers already meet in teams. Unfortunately, planning meetings, coming up with meaningful activities, and documenting work steal precious time from the real purpose: powerful collaborative learning that changes classroom practice and impacts student outcomes.
Focuses teamwork on student learning, with an emphasis on peer-to-peer coaching—a proven lever of deep implementation
Comes pre-loaded with three foundational courses broken down into short modules suitable for use during team meetings
Increases implementation of new strategies dramatically and builds a robust, dynamic professional culture of learning—faster and less costly than traditional PD alone.
Centers on a Marzano framework, the Essentials for Achieving Rigor, and delivers strategies that will strengthen core instruction across all content areas
We all share the same goal:
better learning for kids.
Teachers appreciate setting their own learning course and collaborating with respected peers; administrators love seeing proof that the investment is paying off.
