Turn PD into Classroom Practice
Through The ARC Model™, a three-year instructional growth framework that aligns systems, raises rigor, and builds internal capacity.
Why Professional Development Falls Short
Professional development often fails — not because of a lack of ideas — but because of a lack of alignment, follow-through, and leadership integration.
Teachers attend workshops. Strategies are shared. Inspiration is high.
But without a clear system connecting implementation, reflection, and leadership practice, the impact fades.
Schools don’t need more initiatives.
They need alignment.
The ARC Model™ is a three-year instructional growth framework designed to turn strategy into sustained classroom practice.
It works by focusing on three intentional phases:
Align Systems.
Raise Rigor.
Create Capacity.
Instead of layering new programs on top of existing ones, ARC strengthens the systems already in place — connecting strategy implementation, reflective practice, walkthrough alignment, and leadership development into one coherent structure.
The ARC Model™
Year 1: Align Systems
In year 1, schools establish a strong instructional foundation.
Focus: Coherence and consistency across classrooms.
Outcome: Instructional alignment
Year 2: Raise Rigor
In year 2, schools refine and layer strategies to elevate thinking.
Focus: Deepening academic thinking and intentional practice.
Outcome: Increase visible learning
Year 3: Create Capacity
In year 3, schools build internal systems to sustain growth after partnership.
Focus: Sustainability and instructional leadership.
Outcome: Instructional leadership
What Schools Experience Through ARC

Teachers Say…
"Participation is way up - the students like having multiple ways to respond to content. Students are more self-sufficient and are taking ownership over their learning."
"I like the habit of reflecting on strategies. I haven't done that since Induction. I think this would be very helpful for new teachers - those who are in years 1-3 of teaching."
"Students have said they feel more prepared for AP (Advanced Placement) classes next year. Students are becoming more academically confident."
