Led by the team from Learning Sciences International (LSI), “Instructional Empowerment” means that all students, teachers, and leaders thrive in a rigorous learning environment that builds agency through providing opportunities to exercise autonomy, develop self-regulation, and support critical thinking. IE’s Partnership Promise: • We meet you where you are, learn your current initiatives, and focus on YOUR instructional vision, initiatives, and goals for improvement. • We walk your schools with you, we own your data with you, and we work side-by-side with you. • We hold ourselves accountable because we are in this together and invested in your overall outcome. • We build effective teams and strengthen leadership, teachers, and students to achieve their compelling purpose. • We work together with leaders and teachers to strengthen core instructional systems and practices to improve outcomes for ALL students. IE will bring you the same instructional expertise we brought you at Learning Sciences International, backed by the same research that our team has developed over the course of 20+ years of working with schools across the country. We will bring you the same evidence-based systems approach to school improvement. We believe true empowerment is achieved when systems and structures align to ensure students engage in rigorous, standards-based tasks that build knowledge with peers in collaborative, interdependent teams. The same award-winning faculty from LSI is transitioning to IE. We are educators who have sat in your seats as former teachers, principals, and leaders and we are excited to continue working shoulder-to-shoulder with you. Research is at the heart of our work. Our partnerships with world-class researchers like Dr. Robert J. Marzano and Dr. Ruth Wageman have transitioned with us to IE. If you believe what we believe, we hope you’ll join us to make the teaching and learning process more empowering for every child and educator.
