Preparing the next generation of thinkers.
We’re rethinking what it means to learn.
Our capacity to support digital teaching and learning comes from our experience in delivering virtual learning services in 180 schools over the past 5 years.
An evidence-based approach.
Our Six Essential Practices of Effective Schools is the core of Generation Ready’s support to district and school leaders. We combine our Six Essential Practices-based goals with your own district teaching framework rubrics. We believe that success lies in partnerships amongst the teachers, principals, superintendents, as well as educational consultants working together.

Our Model of Continuous Cycle of Improvement.
Generation Ready’s continuous cycle of Improvement ensures that each professional learning services engagement is customized to the needs of each school and is built on the concept of shared responsibility and professional collaboration.
Step 1 – Recognize a need
Each engagement begins with a diagnostic process. Knowing your school is critical in helping us understand your needs and will help us to plan a successful and focused professional learning experience for your school. This initial review will look at your school or district’s current circumstances, practices, organizational structures, challenges, level of capacity and achievement. It provides us with a great perspective of where you are.
Step 2 – Create an action plan
Our consultants will then take the information that we have received from our diagnostic phase and will apply their expertise to collaboratively design an individualized detailed action plan which will be oriented towards raising student achievement by targeting instruction. All goals will be clearly actionable and achievable and designed to meet your specific requirements.
Step 3 – Execute the action plan
Through modeling effective teaching and leading in your school setting we will bring the action plan to life and make sure it works. Both rigor and flexibility are built into our methodology. We know that once plans meet reality, they rarely survive unchanged. Unlike others, our execution is dynamic and able to adjust to circumstances, accounting for progress as plan unfolds to ensure optimum results within the time allowed. You Generation Ready consultant will be collaborative and supportive to enable you to reach (or even exceed) your goals as quickly and efficiently as possible, through side-by-side focused support.
Step 4 – Ongoing monitoring and reporting
We monitor and execute against the defined set of engagement milestones that we have outlined in the Action Plan to ensure quality delivery of our services. Your consultants will monitor results regularly, track progress towards goals and adjust the action plan as needed
Building capacity to drive success.
In all our work, we use a gradual release of responsibility model, where we introduce new ideas and strategies, demonstrate how they work and guide teachers as they incorporate new strategies into their practice.
We want to make sure that when we leave your classrooms and schools your teachers and leaders have the skills, content knowledge and strategies to sustain the positive impact on student achievement. Our consultants guide you throughout the process and ultimately, watch you lead successful classrooms.
“If you want to change the culture or climate of a school, start with the adults and the kids will follow.”
