Why Elevate?

How Does Elevate Work?

Elevate is a program for teachers to measure and build classroom conditions that catalyze engagement and learning. Over multiple Elevate cycles, teachers partner with students to create conditions that catalyze motivation, accelerate learning, and foster social-emotional development.

Teachers start a new cycle to asses impact and continue responding to students’ perceptions.

4. Improve & Repeat

Working in partnership with students, teachers select and implement new instructional practices that catalyze student engagement.

3. Select New Practices

Teachers analyze reports to gain insight into students’ classroom experiences and how students’ perceptions change over time.

2. Reflect on Feedback

Students take 5-10-minute survey measuring their perceptions of classroom learning conditions.

1. Elevate Student Voice

Elevate is not something that's additional. It's something that gives you a framework; to put into action things that you're probably already doing as an educator.

Research

Elevate builds on decades of research which shows that positive learning conditions catalyze engagement, accelerate learning, and create more equitable outcomes. In fact, students are 2x more likely to earn As and Bs in math with optimal learning conditions.
