services

The TeamBuilders Group provides a variety of services and programs that are combined and mixed to create a customized solution for your district. When we work with educators we either focus:

• on using collaborative learning as a means to accomplish a specific district initiative, or

• on enhancing collaborative learning at multiple levels within a district to enhance instruction, faculty coordination, and school culture.  

The blended methods that we use to create customized solutions for each district include:

• Strategy Sessions

• Professional Development Workshops

• Coaching and Modeling

• Collaborative Inquiry of Educators

• Fully Tailored Formative Assessment

• Cohorts of Educators from Multiple Districts

• Lesson Kits

• Video Conferencing

All of our work is grounded by a proprietary instructional model called the T.R.U.S.T. model of Teamwork:

T: Teamwork Norms

R: Review

U: Use Deliberate Practice

S: Struggle Before Intervention

T: Time for Reflection

We always begin by understanding what is being done well.  We help educators label and use strategies more purposefully.  We guide educators to collect evidence of student engagement and then after reflecting on what the evidence tell us, we begin to move educators towards the use of the research-based strategies embodied by the T.R.U.S.T. model.
