The AI Coach by Edthena process + Digital Promise resources helps all teachers build upon their Science of Reading training. This PD provides research-backed strategies for elementary literacy.

Teachers can access 100s of research-based strategies from the Digital Promise Learner Variability Project as they complete on-demand, Science of Reading-focused coaching using the AI Coach by Edthena platform. Working with the virtual coach, teachers analyze their teaching, set a near-term goal, and develop an action plan for positively impacting student learning.

WASHINGTON, July 18, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Digital Promise and Edthena are partnering to help train and support teachers on Science of Reading-based instruction by incorporating Digital Promise's Learner Variability Project resources into the Edthena offerings. Now, as teachers complete coaching cycles, they will be able to select a Science of Reading pathway within the AI Coach by Edthena platform and access Digital Promise's research-based content, strategies, and best practices.

"Teachers need research-based strategies at their fingertips so they can implement Science of Reading programs with fidelity," said Barbara Pape, senior director of Digital Promise's Learner Variability Project. "Our Learner Variability Project resources are steeped in research and made easily accessible through Edthena's AI Coach."

The hundreds of teacher-facing strategy recommendations are backed by published academic studies documenting the predictiveness of student outcomes. The Learner Variability Project builds on emerging research into learner variability to support a whole-child framework for student achievement.

AI Coach is an adaptive, first-of-its-kind solution that uses conversational artificial intelligence to support teachers as they work through coaching cycles. Within the Science of Reading pathway, teachers will have a full complement of content-specific supports—covering topics such as phonological awareness, sentence structure, and verbal reasoning—to help analyze their teaching and build their students into skilled readers.

Using the secure platform, teachers independently reflect on their practice and set near-term goals as part of a self-paced module that mirrors the instructional coaching process. Teachers have an interactive conversation with Edie, the AI-driven coach, who asks probing, open-ended questions and offers personalized tips and resources for improvement.

"The AI Coach process helps all teachers build upon their Science of Reading training by focusing on implementation of best practices," said Adam Geller, founder and CEO of Edthena. "Our partnership with Digital Promise ensures teachers' learning experiences within AI Coach are grounded in research on how to help students become fluent readers and reach their full potential as learners."

The evidence-based AI Coach process is designed to complement the efforts of school leaders and instructional coaches, and helps to alleviate time and scheduling restraints associated with in-person coaching sessions that can often be a barrier to ongoing professional learning. Teachers can meet with the virtual coach on a schedule that's convenient to the changing demands of the school day, and have the option to pause and resume their coaching cycle at any point. This enables teachers to get the help they need, when they need it.

In addition to the newly-added Science of Reading pathway, which is available in both an early-elementary and late-elementary version, teachers can also complete coaching cycles focused on common teaching techniques such as checking for student understanding, balancing student-teacher talk time, facilitating group discussions, and more.
