Bring effective teaching to every classroom in your school.

No. You can begin with a coach license alone, build familiarity with the curriculum, develop your plan, and add teacher licenses whenever you're ready. They can be added at any time.

That said, the greatest impact happens when coaches and teachers share the same language and learning, so we recommend teacher licenses whenever possible. At $99 per teacher, this is the lowest price they'll be offered, and pricing rises later this summer.

Coaches and leaders already carry a full workload, so the system is ready to use. Your time goes into leading the work, not building it from scratch.

The teacher training videos total about eight hours across the whole year, and can be watched at faster speed. The learning is job-embedded: teachers watch a short lesson, apply it, and return when they're ready for the next step. A few hours of planning this summer saves countless hours of decision-making all year.

The professional learning for both coaches and teachers is prerecorded and on-demand, available anytime, from any device. No travel, no substitute coverage, no lost instructional time.

In addition, coaches have opportunities to connect live with Gail and other coaches throughout the year to ask questions and share what they're seeing.

The Coaching Practice is designed so you can move through the trainings and resources at your own pace. Most coaches will have everything they need to build a clear coaching plan and support teachers throughout the year.

If you'd like more personalized guidance, you can add 1:1 Strategy Calls with Gail during checkout.

This optional add-on includes eight private Zoom sessions throughout your first year. The first four calls are scheduled weekly during your first month to help you build momentum, then the remaining four are spread across the year as you implement. Together, you'll focus on your school, your teachers, and your goals, with direct guidance from Gail based on your unique situation.

It's a great fit for coaches and school leaders who value ongoing accountability, personalized feedback, and direct access as they strengthen teaching across their school.

Whether or not you choose the coaching calls, you can always email our team with questions or submit them to the members only Q&A Podcast inside The Teaching Practice, where Gail regularly answers member questions and shares practical guidance.

Think of them as three parts of one system.

Prepared Classroom is the research and framework. It documents the high-impact practices that create the conditions for strong teaching and student independence.

The Teaching Practice helps teachers learn and implement those practices in their own classrooms.

The Coaching Practice helps coaches and leaders bring those same practices across a whole school, with the plans, tools, and roadmap to support growth over time.

Yes, and it's bigger than that. This builds on the same foundations that made Daily 5 and CAFE successful: student independence, engaged learners, and meaningful small-group instruction.

Over time, that work grew beyond literacy into a broader framework for effective teaching across all subjects. You'll learn the principles behind Daily 5 and CAFE, along with a complete framework for building independence and strengthening instruction that transfers beyond the lesson.

It works alongside it. The Coaching Practice isn't a curriculum and doesn't replace the one you use. It builds the teaching practices that help any curriculum land in the classroom: strong routines, student independence, responsive teaching, and learning that transfers into student work.

Before students can benefit from any program, they need classrooms built on those foundations. This creates the conditions where your curriculum can succeed.
