the r.e.a.c.h. framework

The school districts studied did not stumble into instructional improvement. They achieved it—deliberately, systematically, and over time. The pattern of change they followed was strikingly similar, and can be summarized by REACH:

RESOURCE

Supply educators with shared, high-quality, tech-enabled instructional materials

EQUIP

Provide data and training that enables educators to meet student need

ASSESS + ADJUST

Monitor what’s working at all levels, from the individual to the district, and continuously improve

COHERE

Align community and tools around a shared instructional vision

HARDWIRE

Codify learning and embed routines into daily practice
