OUR FOCUS AND PLEDGE

Let's Learn Together

Our Drivers

The IDEA drivers - Inspire, Design, Empower, and Amplify - position ALP at the intersection of education, innovation, and leadership. These drivers provide the foundation for customized systems-oriented professional learning services.

Inspire

ALP is fiercely loyal to the belief that people and teamwork lead change. We work together to build strong relationships and develop a deep understanding of the unique needs of each partner so that we may inspire and unite all learners.

Design

ALP leads the creation of growth models that focus on learner outcomes. Stakeholders co-design plans that apply ALP’s diverse services, metrics, and resources in ways that leverage district strategy, talent, and vision for change.

Empower

ALP strives to empower every learner, educator and leader to be the change their community needs. We work side-by-side our partners to implement frameworks, learning models and metrics that elevate learning and drive change.

Amplify

The spread of innovation is amplified when dynamic processes are thoughtfully planned and implemented. ALP consultants collaborate with educators and leaders to build capacity to sustain large-scale learning transformations.

Words from our partners

I think that this is the beginning of what will be a great path for our school. As we strive for equity among our learners, facilitators and leaders we will have a great impact on the entire community as the effects will send ripples through our 'pond' that will move on and on.

Principal

Mesa Public Schools (AZ)

Thank you, this was amazing! I panicked about the complexity of the Look Fors document and its use with classified leaders. I underestimated the power of your facilitation to make the magic happen- you made it relevant, meaningful, and actionable. Big learning for me today!

District Administrator

Winchester County Schools (VA)

[The ALP consultant] practiced what she preached. She modeled the effective use of blended learning practices and the participants actively demonstrated exemplars and solved problems. She was also very articulate, analytical, personable, authentic, and relevant. Products were created and goals were accomplished throughout the day. I don't feel like I am leaving here with more work to do; I was able to learn while I was here.

School Administrator

Chatham County Schools (NC)

Students are more highly engaged in the classroom curriculum. Learning activities have grown to include digital platforms where students have "voice and choice" to allow for creativity in learning.

5th Grade Teacher

Pinellas County Schools (FL)

The concept of learning walks and coaching practice will help me in working with teachers in my building as we continue to provide opportunities for meaningful learning experiences through student engagement and purposeful use of technology.

School-Based Technology Specialist

Fairfax County Public Schools (VA)

The Computational Thinking Concept is becoming more familiar and I now understand how computational thinking applies to all mathematical processes. With the use of technology, I know students will be engaged in the learning process without them realizing they are applying all computational thinking principles in solving math problems.

4th Grade Teacher

Pflugerville ISD (TX)

I feel like I can now take a "typical" teacher-centered notes/lecture lesson and turn it into a valuable learning experience. I feel confident that I can provide students with opportunities for active learning and critical thinking.

Math Teacher

Davis School District (UT)

[The Professional Learning Facilitator] has done an outstanding job of pushing our admin/coaching team to really dig in and think about our practice as we move into a fuller implementation of our learner-centered model. I can see real growth and understanding in our admins and in our teachers from where we started a few years ago.

Director of Elementary Learning & Teaching

Lake Travis ISD (TX)

Going from the overview of what Strategic Planning is, to seeing the process unfold has been a learning experience. While it may seem simple in nature when looked at from a distance, there are several key components to the actual groundwork that gets done. The ability to have the work groups findings readily available led to deep conversations about where we are and where we want to go.

School Administrator

Mesa Public Schools (AZ)

Through open-ended questioning and discussion, my team interacted with each competency to gain a deeper understanding of how competencies pertained to our work. As a team, we discussed scenarios, shared examples of practice, and reflected on experiences. The component of the professional learning session that best supported my learning experience was the development piece of the PL, presenting to peers and participating in other presentations.
