Learning 360 Framework is the key research on teacher effectiveness aggregated into a framework for powerful student learning. It is what teachers want because it is student-centered, practical, doable, and impactful. When St. John’s Parrish in Louisiana used Learning 360 Framework, 8th grade math scores soared by 27% after only one year of teacher training. See what you can do for your teachers and students with Learning 360 Framework.

The major components of the Learning 360 Framework are student-friendly learning targets that are standards based and relevant, assessment that is aligned and growth producing, and learning strategies that are rigorous and engaging.

Certified coaches and trainers make the implementation sustainable with focus on the following:

Fostering learning through successful classroom implementation
Building instructional leadership capacity
Establishing a highly effective, job-embedded professional development system

In the Learning 360 Framework classroom, students have the following experiences:

See relevance and make connections with their own experience and understanding
Problem solve at high cognitive levels
Learn to self-evaluate
Take responsibility for their own learning and behavior
Direct their own learning
Learn how to learn
Are motivated to learn because they are in an atmosphere of success

Teachers learn how to use instructional strategies to hit learning targets aligned to state standards, make instruction intentional, and engage students immediately at the start of every lesson. Administrators and other leaders receive training to become instructional leaders capable of guiding their school to success. Unlike other school interventions that often do not yield significant results, the Learning 360 Framework is a results-driven process focused on building internal capacity and sustainability to enable schools and districts to maintain and continue improvement on their own.
