LIFT 

Program Duration: One Year
Program Manager: K. Celeste Murray
Participants: Teachers with 1-5 years of teaching experience in NM
Number of Participants Served: 100 teachers and 50 Performance Coaches

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Lift has been designed to support and empower early-career teachers as they work to dramatically improve student achievement in their schools by sharing strategies to establish foundational practices that help early-career teachers experience successful instruction.

First year teachers are eligible to participate; however, the work with Lift is not intended to replace the mentoring new teachers receive through their districts.

Participants will experience high-leverage strategies and techniques to use in classrooms, identify when to implement them, how to execute them effectively, and ways to adapt them to meet students’ unique needs. To accomplish this goal, Lift builds the knowledge and skills of educators in the following focus areas:

  • Creating Safe and Supportive Learning Environments for all students

  • Unpacking Standards to Create Powerful Daily Learning Objectives with Aligned Learning Tasks and Formative Assessments

  • Improving Classroom Management, Instructional Practices, and Student Engagement Through Classroom Culture

  • Implementation with Performance Coach Support
