Services
Elevated Teaching Solutions offers a range of educational consulting services designed to meet your school's unique needs. We believe that evidence based instructional strategies are key to improving student achievement. That's why we rely heavily on the insights of John Hattie and other experts in the field to guide the instructional practices we demonstrate, train, and coach teachers and principals to implement.
High Impact Instructional Practices
By focusing on student engagement, we help students stay motivated and interested, leading to measurable improvements in academic performance. The instructional practices we demonstrate, train and coach lead to deeper teacher-student relationships and engagement in learning. John Hattie's research points to several influences related to student achievement including teacher feedback, formative assessments, student goal setting, and classroom discussion.
"Fostering active learning seems a very challenging and demanding task for teachers, requiring knowledge of students’ learning processes, skills in providing guidance and feedback and classroom management. "
~John Hattie
Instructional Coaching
Our instructional coaching services are designed to help educators improve their teaching practices and strategies. We work closely with teachers to identify areas for growth and provide personalized support and feedback. We offer a range of techniques to improve instruction, including one-on-one coaching, grade level cluster coaching and micro-teaching protocol. Shirilla Consulting, LLC offers instructional coaching in all content areas.
"Instructional coaches partner with teachers to help them improve teaching and learning so students are more successful. To do this, coaches collaborate with teachers to get a clear picture of current reality, identify goals, pick teaching strategies to meet the goals, monitor progress, and problem solve until the goals are met."
~Jim Knight
"Professional development that is sustained, intensive, and content focused—has a positive and lasting impact on classroom instruction and teacher performance."

Professional Development
Every educator deserves access to high-quality, professional development. We work with schools to create customized training that align with their goals and help them achieve success for teachers and students. We come to schools for in-person workshops, lesson demonstrations, and PLC facilitation.
Leadership Support & Coaching
Principals play a crucial role in ensuring effective instructional practices in their schools. To do so they need support and coaching to develop the skills necessary to observe and provide feedback on literacy instruction. By providing principals with the tools they need, we can help create a culture of excellence in their schools.
"Principals can make a big difference to education. Four practices are key to their effectiveness, starting with a focus on instruction when working with teachers."
~The Wallace Foundation
Data Analysis
Data analysis is a crucial component of effective education. We use detailed data analysis protocols to guide and support teachers to use meaningful data that will lead to student achievement. We can help you collect, analyze, and interpret data to make informed decisions that will improve student outcomes.
"Effective data practices have the power to help districts and schools be more aware of trends in student performance. Once school leaders can see important patterns, they can be more strategic, intentional, and responsive."
~Education Week
"Collective teacher efficacy has been found to be strongly, positively correlated with student achievement."
