School Teachers

Our core values:

  • Center youth. Serve the best and highest interests of all scholars by centering historically marginalized scholars.
  • Activate integrity. Maintain personal, professional, and fiscal ideals in the face of oppressive systems. Speak truth to power and always bring power to that truth. Ensure these ideals are part of our work in dismantling oppressive systems.
  • Require excellence. Hold self, teammates, and partners to preeminent standards that remain unshaken by consequence. Require meaningful relationships, success for historically marginalized scholars, and centering the global majority in all of our work.
  • Practice humility. Approach all interactions and decisions with partners and one another with the expectation of learning and improving. Recognize our biases, prejudices, and privilege as a way of relinquishing them to ensure other perspectives exist at the center of this important work.
  • Demonstrate care. Build relationships with partners and teammates; solicit and give frequent feedback; sustain the team and personal needs. Confirm vulnerability and confidence coexist as keys to ensuring everyone receives and provides support consistently.
  • Be anti-racist. Question and evaluate oppression based on race constantly; deconstruct the personal and structural behaviors, systems, and policies that support oppression; build equitable replacements that create a more racially just world.

    Mario Giardiello Fmr. Executive Director, School Support - Denver Public Schools

  • “Real Time Teacher Coaching has given coaches a tangible, immediate, and sustainable way of supporting their teachers.

  • “When chosen to lead Project L.I.F.T. in CMS, I was charged with creating a suite of services to support our school turn-around process and oversee the investment we made in teacher coaching.
