The STEAM PowerED Way
Vision
STEAM PowerED elevates educators' voices and cultivates spaces for their collaborative genius to be maximized. We believe in a world where every critical stakeholder in a student's life has appropriate access AND a space to share necessary resources they can leverage to support success for every child.
Mission
Our goal is to support school leaders in leveraging quality literacy initiatives as a catalyst for academic achievement across all content areas. STEAM PowerED helps to create equitable, accessible, relevant professional learning opportunities for educators. Our concierge-style, customizable approach, intentionally and systemically builds more diverse and inclusive communities.
Values
Mentorship
Educators are professionals who deserve professional relationships built on trust and sustained by an exchange of knowledge, experience, and compassion.
Collaboration
Educators must craft a truly shared vision. Ownership and investment in professional learning influences how much teachers commit to progress and student success.
Access
Differentiated professional learning experiences meet educators where they are and effectively expand their capacity for high-quality instructional implementation.
Disruption
In order to do what’s best for students, we have to disrupt familiar yet ineffective patterns, systems, and habits. We don’t want to interrupt your day, we want to transform your way.

Instructional Support
Collabs
Systemically build the capacity of your instructional staff with our five step approach to collaborative professional learning. Participants will meet to engage in analyses of student performance and teachers’ impact on learning. We will open our practice together and allow the power of collective knowledge & experience alongside expert instructional leadership to closely guide our decisions and move the needle forward for our students.

Coaching
In most cases Collabs and 1:1 coaching work together to provide the appropriate frequency and depth of support. Every intervention (collaborative and 1:1 job-embedded professional development) is differentiated to meet the needs and capacity of the participants. Coaching can be provided for teachers who have more intensive challenges and would like to further tailor support to meet specific classroom needs.
