Who we are

The MQI Coaching model uses an evidence-based observational instrument, the Mathematical Quality of Instruction (MQI) rubric, as a lens for critically analyzing math instruction. Using classroom video and the MQI rubric in one-on-one coaching cycles, teachers self-identify areas for instructional growth and commit to realistic action steps. MQI Coaching was developed and tested as part of a research study and revealed that participation significantly improved the quality of math instruction and increased teacher retention.

How we address equity

MQI Coaching supports equity by ensuring historically marginalized students have the opportunity to deeply engage in high-quality, grade-appropriate math instruction. MQI Coaching supports teachers in implementing curriculum tasks as intended in ways that keeps the cognitive demand on the students, rather than the teacher. In particular, several codes of the MQI rubric provide specific criteria for defining high-quality student engagement across a range of practices. This enables teachers to reflect on their own practice and generate ideas on how to improve their teaching to better support their students.

Why is this important?

How we build district capacity

MQI Coaching provides individualized, ongoing support for teachers – allowing teachers to work toward their own goals and to implement curriculum with fidelity. Our coaching model is teacher-driven, focused on teachers’ own instruction, and utilizes an objective, evidence-based math-specific tool for reflection. Over time, teachers internalize the MQI codes, allowing them not only to reflect with their coach but to plan and enact future lessons with the codes in mind, allowing them to independently elevate their implementation of the curriculum. Engaging in MQI Coaching has been shown to increase teacher retention and improve the quality of math instruction.

Why is this important?

How we provide curriculum-aligned PL

Coaching

Through a teacher-driven approach, coaching conversations encourage teachers to analyze segments of their own instruction objectively using the language of the MQI rubric to find ways to elevate practice through incremental changes – making sure to place a focus on how these elevations can be used in planning future lessons.

PLCs

MQI Coaching offers video-based professional learning communities. Facilitators lead participants in MQI-grounded conversations, reflecting on video of teachers' own instruction and/or stock clips from the MQI Video Library. This enables participants to create a shared language and share instructional practices to elevate instruction.
