WHO WE ARE
The Collaborative for Teaching and Learning (CTL) partners with schools and districts to make HQIM accessible and engaging for all students. Our theory of action is grounded in the belief that sustained, job-embedded professional learning, combined with HQIM and strong leadership, leads to improved teaching and learning outcomes. Known for our literacy, leadership development, and systems change expertise, CTL stands apart with a learner-centered approach that fosters sustainable improvement.

How we address equity
Equity is both an attribute and outcome of CTL’s professional learning. We embed equity by designing research-based, job-embedded learning that empowers educators to create inclusive, student-centered classrooms. We aim to amplify diverse perspectives and inclusive practices in our work. We are committed to helping educators center students’ lived experiences and unique perspectives to unlock their potential through an asset-based and equitable lens on programming. We ensure all students, particularly those historically underserved, can access high-quality instruction and materials. Our approach helps build educator capacity and sustainable practices, resulting in improved instruction and increased engagement and student achievement.

How we build district capacity
We believe in the power of a whole-school approach, starting with a leadership team that communicates a clear instructional vision and ensures coherence and mutual accountability. We implement our four pillars - Tier I instruction, Professional Learning, Coaching, and Instructional Leadership - through sustained, job-embedded support systems to build capacity in educators and, ultimately, the students they serve. In professional learning, coaching, and PLC sessions, we help teachers plan engaging lessons from their HQIM, rehearse and internalize effective practices, analyze student work, and build scaffolds for striving learners. This work is most impactful in a collaborative culture with aligned practices and expectations.
