What We Do
At Instructional Empowerment, our mission is to end generational poverty and eliminate achievement gaps through redesigned rigorous Tier 1 instruction that ensures deeper learning for ALL students. We believe true empowerment is achieved when systems and structures align to ensure students engage in rigorous, standards-based tasks that build knowledge with peers in collaborative, interdependent teams. We partner with school and district leaders to build schools’ capacity and instructional systems, driving rapid, measurable, and long-term student outcomes. By shifting from teacher-directed instruction to student-led team learning, we empower every student to become an independent, critical thinker who takes ownership of their learning. We are so serious about our mission that we founded our own independent Applied Research Center. Our research center verifies every project using the most exacting federal research standards. We ensure our methods work in every school and every classroom in all the different communities that our partner schools serve. When implemented effectively, student-led team learning has been proven to close or narrow opportunity and achievement gaps. We see this impact across our partner schools, where students develop the high-agency skills essential for success in a rapidly evolving world. If you believe what we believe, we hope you’ll join us to make the teaching and learning process more empowering for every child and educator.
