What We Believe
Schools are communities, and every school enacts a unique culture of deeply held beliefs about teaching, learning, and change. Teachers are the soul of every school, providing students not just with assignments, but with confidence, inspiration, and care. Teachers grow by building on what they do well, and by focusing on one area of improvement at a time.
RELATIONSHIPS
All learning is based on relationships. Every learner needs to feel seen, known, and respected.
R4 consultants help schools create the kinds of inclusive practices that foster student-teacher connection and understanding
RIGOR
Rigor means going deeper, discovering what we don’t know, and demonstrating independent understanding.
R4 improves rigor through services such as constructive curriculum audits, developing Checks for Understanding, and designing internalization guides for use with off-the-shelf curricula.
RELEVANCE
True learning happens when learners see themselves, their interests, their experiences or their needs reflected in their studies.
R4 specializes in helping teachers connect grade-level skills and mandated content to learners’ interests and experiences.
RESULTS
Coaching and program revision must result in real change.
All R4 services are outcomes focused. Whether we work with you for a day or for months, your school will grow with R4 in ways that are measurable and impactful.
