Shifting educator practice
Our professional learning offerings—for individual educators, small cohorts or large groups— are grounded in experience, facilitated by expert educators, and developed in response to timeless concerns and current needs. The norms that we espouse as essential to learning experiences - building trust and knowing students deeply, challenging all students, and developing equitable and inclusive learning experiences that support all students - are essential tenets in our commitment to shifting educator practice.
Our mission
We design and deliver programming that empowers teachers and school leaders to shift their practice to improve student learning outcomes.
- “I really think GOA is a model — not just for distance learning, but the possibilities of how we might rethink school in moving forward.” Aaron Alcodray American School of Japan
- “We need our teachers to be part of the conversation that a partnership with GOA offers organizations with such a clear focus on what teacher learning means for student outcomes.” Benjamin Gregg Walnut Hill School for the Arts (MA)
- “You have to invest in professional learning to get meaningful outcomes, and sometimes that means bringing in outside experts. GOA provided the partnership we were looking for, and they did a tremendous job — so much so that we partnered with them again.” Samuel Mormando Garnet Valley School District (PA)
