We believe that the goal of schools should be efficacy . . . which begins with empowerment . . . which begins with engagement. Efficacious students can change the world!
At IDE Corp., we accomplish these goals through the Learner-Active, Technology-Infused Classroom™ — a framework for putting students in charge of their own learning.
LATIC has proven to be the perfect venue for designing equitable learning environments, implementing MTSS, addressing the needs of all students, and building academic resilience, including the foundational executive function skills and SEL.

What does this look like in practice?
What does this look like in practice?
A combination of workshops and coaching with a cohort of teachers over a number of years to engage in comprehensive instructional redesign; eventually, some of the teachers become Teacher Leaders. The trajectory is:
A cohort of teachers attends eight days of training each year for three years followed by coaching.
Each year another cohort of teachers is added.
In the fourth year of a teacher's involvement, they attend a four-day Lab Classroom training to assess their classroom and ensure they are implementing the framework with fidelity; they continue to receive coaching.
In the fifth year, some of those first year cohort teachers become Teacher Leaders; they attend three workshop days to work with IDE Corp. consultants in designing the next year of workshops and coaching so they can begin to take greater responsibility for the continued growth of the initiative. Eventually, IDE Corp. consultants work primarily to support the Teacher Leaders.
