The AlignED Framework
A System for Developing and Retaining Strong Teachers
Building great teachers shouldn’t be left to chance.
Across schools and districts, novice teachers are often expected to “figure it out” while juggling classroom management, instruction, and increasing expectations. Mentorship programs exist—but too often lack structure, consistency, and measurable impact.
AlignED Framework was created to change that.

The AlignED Learning Co Mission
- New teachers feel overwhelmed and unsupported
- Mentors lack clear systems for coaching conversations
- Coaching cycles are inconsistent or compliance-driven
- Schools struggle to retain strong early-career teachers
Without a clear system, support becomes reactive instead of intentional.

The AlignED Learning Co Mission
Empower is a structured, school-wide system designed to develop teacher capacity through:
- Intentional mentoring systems
- Focused coaching cycles
- Clear progress monitoring
- Reflective, skill-based growth
Rather than relying on isolated meetings or informal support, Empower creates a consistent process that builds teacher confidence, instructional skill, and long-term success.
Why AlignED is Different
The AlignED Learning Co Mission
Why AlignED is Different
Empower is not just a mentorship program—it is a scalable system that:
- Aligns mentoring, coaching, and evaluation practices
- Provides clear structures for weekly and nine-week coaching cycles
- Builds teacher ownership through reflection and goal setting
- Supports both novice teachers and the leaders guiding them
It moves schools from:
Supporting teachers when there’s a problem to developing teachers through a system.
