Great Teaching
We define great teaching as ensuring that every student is both challenged and known.
Great teaching puts the thinking on students.
Great teaching, to me, boils down to great relationships—if you don’t know the kids in front of you, how can you know how to push them to succeed? Great teachers know their kids more deeply than just the surface level; they know their kids’ strengths and areas for growth, their goals and the path they want to take to get there.
We revere teaching as an intellectual profession. We believe great teachers are made, not born. We know great teaching is not easily or quickly mastered and requires that we constantly reflect and improve ourselves.

To share our vision of effective instruction, we launched an instructional resources site with 100+ videos of Brooke teachers in action. Through these videos, you'll see what it looks like for teachers to put the thinking on kids in discussion-based lessons across a variety of grades and subject areas. The site is also filled with resources like unit plans and professional development sessions.
