Helping Texas educators realize a vision for excellent instruction
How we work—one size does not fit all
We know that solutions in education are never one-size-fits-all, which is why we work to build a plan that’s customized to your school, system, and team’s needs. Whether you and your team are adopting new high-quality materials, looking to build capacity, or creating a strategy to address various learning needs, Instruction Partners has deep experience supporting Texas instructional leaders in solving their unique educational challenges.
Instruction Partners is here to provide you and your instructional leadership team with help in two key instructional practices:
High-quality instructional materials (HQIM).
We help teams take a strategic approach to selecting and implementing HQIM.
Effective professional learning (PL).
We equip leaders with the knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to support effective, materials-aligned PL for their teams.
