Our Approach
Professional learning that actually changes practice.
We don’t deliver a workshop and disappear. eMINTS combines a research-backed instructional model, sustained mentoring, and more than 25 years of evidence to transform how educators teach – and how learners learn.
What Makes Us Different
Mentoring, Not Workshops
Our facilitators work alongside your team – modeling strategies, co-planning, observing, and debriefing. Participants keep autonomy; we keep momentum going.
Flexible Delivery
In-person, virtual, or hybrid. We design professional learning to fit local schedules, capacity, and goals.
Research-Backed & Practice-Focused
Every strategy we teach is grounded in research and designed to translate directly into daily practice. No theory-only sessions.
Proven at Scale
25+ years. 5,000+ certified educators. $61M+ in federal research grants. Results that hold up under independent evaluation.
Coaching and Mentoring That Builds Capacity
Our coaches work alongside your team to build skills that last long after the partnership ends.
eMINTS coaches support educators and organizations as they transfer new strategies into daily practice. Through site visits, virtual check-ins, and hands-on training, we guide teams in refining their approach – providing expertise and consultation without evaluation or judgment.
We collaborate side-by-side toward common goals. Our coaches encourage planning, reflecting, and critical thinking. The ultimate measure of success: teams become increasingly confident and independent in their practice.
How we can support your team:
- In-person site visits for observation, co-planning, and feedback
- Virtual check-ins between visits to maintain momentum
- Hands-on support as teams implement new strategies
- A partnership focused on building collective capacity and confidence
A proven framework for learner-centered practice
The eMINTS Instructional Model organizes professional learning around four interconnected priorities – community, lesson design, authenticity, and technology. Originally developed for K-12 classrooms, the framework reflects principles that apply wherever effective learning happens.
A framework designed for growth
The eMINTS Competencies describe observable practices in technology-rich, learner-centered environments. In our K-12 programs, coaches use them to guide goal-setting, frame conversations, and focus observations — not as a checklist, but as a pathway for continuous professional growth.
