Navigator Core 3
Coaching Partnerships
“By receiving weekly observations and feedback, a teacher
develops as much in one year as most teachers do in twenty.”
-Leverage Leadership, Paul Bambrick-Santoyo
Our Vision
Navigator Schools believes that if (1) schools develop top-tier academic leaders and (2) those leaders coach their teams weekly on high leverage strategies, this will result in improved student outcomes. This theory of action has created magic within our own network and we are now helping others to improve academic outcomes in their own schools.
What is the Core 3?We have studied the highest performing public schools, both traditional and charter, to select and implement common elements of success. As school operators we were able to apply these elements, measure their effectiveness and make the necessary adjustments to the formula through a cycle of continuous improvement. The Core 3 elements include (1) Creating a Strong Classroom Culture (2) Personalized, Rigorous Instruction and (3) Collecting & Using Data. Each of these elements has a series of techniques and strategies that can be delivered to a whole staff, a small group or an individual educator. Click here to view our training modules. |

How can the Core 3 work for your school?The Core 3 are broken into replicable training modules that can be integrated by academic leaders into most school models and student populations. Navigator coaches will support your leaders through regular workshops and video conferencing to build their academic leadership capacity in these three areas. Academic leaders will be empowered to support their staff with similar weekly professional development and coaching to build a top-tier team of educators. Most school spend two years building Core 3 capacity in the leadership team and managing change at the classroom level.
