Make Teaching Visible™ helps schools connect coaching, professional learning, and instruction—so teacher growth actually improves student learning.
A practical way to align what you already use, without adding another initiative.
Non-evaluative by design. Focused on evidence of student learning—not ratings or compliance.
Most Schools Don't Need More PD. They Need Things to Connect.
Schools invest time and money in coaching, professional learning, walkthroughs, and observation tools. But too often, these efforts live in separate lanes.
What Leaders See:
• Coaching that looks different in every school
• PD that doesn't show up in classrooms
• Observation tools that feel like compliance
• Progress that disappears when staff or leaders change
This isn't a people problem. It's a connection problem.
One clear way to work together.
-
Clear Expectations
What teachers are expected to do becomes transparent and actionable.
-
Aligned Support
How coaches support growth connects directly to teaching priorities.
-
Visible Progress
How leaders see progress becomes evidence-based and consistent.
Why This Feels Different
Make Teaching Visible™ (MTV) doesn't feel like "another program" because it's designed to connect what you already do—not replace it. Schools tell us MTV feels less like an add-on and more like the missing piece that finally makes everything else work together.
What MTV Is
• A shared way of working across schools
• Grounded in real student learning
• Non-evaluative and growth-focused
• Built to last beyond staff turnover
What MTV Is Not
• A workshop or one-time training
• A new initiative to manage
• An evaluation or scoring tool
• Dependent on outside consultants
Built for how adults actually learn.
MTV is built on a simple truth:
Adults need scaffolds too.
Teachers, coaches, and leaders are expected to improve practice without clear structures for doing so. Make Teaching Visible™ provides those structures—so adults spend less time interpreting expectations and more time improving instruction.

Non-Evaluative by Design
Make Teaching Visible™ is intentionally separated from evaluation. This isn't about ratings, scores, or compliance checklists—it's about creating safe space for growth focused on evidence of student learning, not performance reviews.
Growth-Focused
Conversations center on what students are learning and how to improve outcomes, not teacher performance ratings.
Evidence-Based
Decisions are grounded in observable student work and learning behaviors, removing subjectivity.
Sustainable
When teachers feel safe to experiment and reflect, real improvement happens and sticks.
Important distinction: Schools maintain their chosen evaluation systems separately. MTV provides the coaching and growth infrastructure that supports better teaching—not another evaluation layer on top.
