UNITED in learning program
TeachUNITED UNITED in Learning Program is a research-based training program that builds teaching and learning skills for use in any classroom. We establish partnerships with education-based NGOs and government agencies for a minimum of 6-months. Then, through side-by-side instructional coaching, online learning content, and cohort-based activities, we train your staff to deliver our effective teacher training to the educators and school leaders that you serve. As a partner, once trained, you become a TU Fellow, implementing the proven TeachUNITED program in your communities.

How the program works
what the program offers
EMBEDDED COACHING
TU coaches work with your staff, side-by-side, to prepare them with the most effective teaching and learning tools and strategies. Our coaches provide feedback and support while your staff practices skills, so they are prepared to serve as TU Fellows to schools and teachers in your community once certified.
IMPACTFUL STRATEGIES
Your staff learns to instruct and coach your community teachers on high-impact teaching strategies. Our pedagogy based program and its strategies are rooted in an international meta-analysis of 80,000+ research studies from educational interventions around the world proven to maximize student performance.
- Growth Mindset: Helping students and educators build the belief that intelligence, talents, and skills can grow with meaningful effort
- Engagement: Supporting strategies and design of work that increase student engagement
- Personalization: Modifying process, platform, and place to adapt students’ learning experiences

What’s your “why”? Why a coach?
Being a coach is a role that goes beyond knowing; Being a coach requires commitment, reflection, analysis, resilience, innovation, solidarity, kindness, understanding, and above all motivation. When a true coach achieves an alliance with his teachers; a gear is built focused on changing the way of teaching. That union makes the overall results more meaningful. A true coach makes his teachers shine and feeds on their light to motivate their actions. It is not an easy task, but it is very rewarding to have teachers doing wonderful things for their students and generating a change in their mentality and their future possibilities. Indirectly; a coach helps to change the world and his example is replicated in other teachers and in other settings. I feel very happy to be a coach, and it motivates me to keep improving to give the best to my teachers and their students.
What makes you smile most?
My daughters. I am the father to two beautiful girls, 7 and 2 years old.

Join a committed group of organizations dedicated to building equitable education systems for rural and underserved youth. The TeachUNITED UNITED in Learning Program provides organizations with instructional coaching, online professional learning content, and opportunities for peer learning and support. Partner organizations then bring the program directly to their communities to continue the capacity building of small and rural schools where access to quality coaching and support is often more limited.
