MyTeachingPartner–Secondary

MyTeachingPartner–Secondary (MTP-S) is a professional development program for middle and high school teachers that aims to increase student learning through improved teacher-student interactions. Teachers access an online video library featuring over 400 one- to two-minute clips of high-quality teaching interactions organized by CLASS-S dimensions (Emotional Support, Classroom Organization, and Instructional Support). Teachers receive individualized web-based coaching approximately twice per month throughout the school year from trained consultants. Teachers submit videotaped sessions of their own instruction, and consultants identify segments for review and provide feedback linked to effective practices from the video library. Teachers then confer with consultants in 20- to 30-minute phone discussions where consultants recommend strategies to enhance teacher-student interactions. The intervention involves about 20 hours of in-service training over 13 months, including an initial workshop, biweekly coaching cycles, and a brief booster workshop.
