We at Side-by-Side Educational Consulting are a team of highly-qualified consultants with decades of experience as teachers, coaches, administrators, curriculum planners, and professors. We teach the latest PreK-12 research-based instructional theory and content in an engaging and accessible way -- then "walk the talk" by turning around and working side-by-side with teachers and administrators to implement these best practice methods in real classrooms with real students--all with the ultimate goal of raising student achievement. The mission of Side-by-Side Educational Consulting has been to improve outcomes for students, especially the most disadvantaged. We are particularly adept at working collaboratively with leadership in designing instructional frameworks that reduce the gap between advantaged and disadvantaged students in all disaggregated groups, as well as using student outcome data to guide schools in the implementation of evidence-based, high-leverage practices that increase achievement for all learners. From the beginning of any project, we are focused on building the capacity and sustainability systems necessary for long-term success by providing the following services: customized professional development, on-site technical assistance, shared leadership structures, instructional coaching, administrative support, data analysis, and development services.
