Elevate K-12 Professional Development

Elevate K-12 offers a distinctive approach to professional development by embedding expert mentorship directly into classroom practice through their LIVE Professional Learning program. Unlike traditional PD workshops that take teachers out of their classrooms, Elevate K-12's model pairs educators with seasoned, certified virtual teachers who provide real-time mentorship, instructional modelling, and feedback within the actual teaching environment. This co-teaching approach ensures that professional learning is immediately applicable and contextualised to each teacher's specific classroom dynamics. The platform was originally developed as a solution to the teacher shortage, using livestream technology to bring certified, US-based virtual teachers into school classrooms in real time. This same infrastructure now powers their professional development offerings, with year-round instructional coaching grounded in Jim Knight's research-validated coaching model and teacher evaluation aligned with the Charlotte Danielson Framework. Teachers receive ongoing support through structured coaching cycles, development goals, and regular check-ins that foster continuous instructional improvement. Elevate K-12's approach is particularly valuable for schools and districts seeking to address both staffing challenges and teacher quality simultaneously. By providing flexible co-teaching and mentorship models, the platform helps reduce teacher burnout while building instructional capacity — making it a practical solution for districts looking to support both new and experienced educators in strengthening their practice.
