Consulting Services
Committed to Co-Creating Solutions
CTL is committed to co-creating solutions to help clients reach and teach all learners. We have learned that unless educators and other stakeholders are a part of crafting their own solutions to their own challenges, there will be very little chance of the intervention becoming a sustainable part of the teaching and learning culture.
No Silver Bullets
Our experience suggests that there are no silver bullets or off-the-shelf solutions when it comes to meeting important challenges in education. What works is what CTL does: Our caring, committed professionals work closely with each client to understand the nature of every challenge, and then to co-create customized approaches to meet those challenges. CTL's dedicated staff looks forward to working hard with you to reach and teach all learners.
Our Experience
CTL draws on broad experience from working with many different clients over the years. Our educational coaching staff possess expertise in the areas of effective professional development design, adult learning, adolescent literacy, educational leadership development, the arts in education, early childhood development, at-risk student achievement (closing the achievement gap), college readiness, assessment, program design and evaluation.
CTL’s work is comprised of original models, tools and processes, all designed to foster improvement in teaching and learning. Following are some of the ways in which we assist schools and other organizations to meet their learning goals:
- Work in the context of the client’s needs: To ensure that our work will yield appropriate and essential changes to sustain growth, CTL takes particular steps to become familiar with the circumstances under which its client schools or organizations operate.
- Enable new learning: CTL strives to provide educators and other lifelong learners with the most up-to-date knowledge about best practices in teaching and learning.
- Provide effective tools: CTL works hard to provide for teachers and school administrators effective, practical tools to utilize immediately and with high degrees of success.
- Support local and state education improvement efforts: CTL works directly with school personnel to assist in the introduction of standards-based classroom practices, ongoing assessment processes and structures that support classroom professionals and administrators, all in the context of national, state and local education improvement efforts.
