During Institute, our newest teachers are taught to become exceptional classroom leaders while teaching summer school. Though we hire top talent to support their development, making decisions in this fast-paced environment without the context that full-time team members have is a continual challenge on the ground. How might we better equip part-time team members to make high quality but quick decisions?

Giving critical feedback that quickly changes practice in high-stakes situations can be very difficult. This is complicated by working with novice teachers in high-stress situations.

How might we equip novice coaches to give high impact feedback in high stress situations?

Managing incoming ideas, prioritizing work, and generating new high-impact research topics can be a challenge for any design team. We needed a tool that could be used easily by team members working both from home and the office as we moved forward in a hybrid environment. How might we make vision aligned decisions about when and how to move work forward?
