MQI Coaching offers direct, virtual coaching to math teachers, providing one-on-one support to teachers striving to implement high quality instruction that engages all students.
MQI e-coaching matches math teachers with an MQI expert coach for virtual, one-on-one coaching based on video of their own instruction. E-coaching is customized to meet a teacher’s goals and helps them self-identify areas for instructional growth. Coaches guide teachers to develop realistic and actionable next steps to improve their math instruction.
What Differentiates MQI E-Coaching:
- Curriculum-aligned virtual coaching: MQI e-coaching supports the implementation of many curricula. As a result, teachers can align their professional development with their instructional planning. This leads to more effective student learning without creating extra work for teachers.
- Learn how MQI e-coaching supports curriculum implementation, and see an example of how it aligns with Illustrative Mathematics (IM)
2. Research-based, measurable impact on teacher instructional practice: A study conducted by researchers at Harvard and Brown revealed that MQI Coaching significantly improved the quality of teachers’ mathematics instruction and that participation in MQI Coaching increased the probability that a teacher would continue to teach math in a tested grade the following year.

3. Individualized, ongoing support for teachers: In MQI e-coaching, each teacher works with a dedicated e-coach throughout the year. Together, coaches and teachers analyze video of the teacher’s math instruction and set personalized goals.
- Learn more about MQI’s coaching cycles and how they help teachers reflect on their practice and engage students more substantively in the work of mathematics.
4. Math-specific framework for student-centered instruction: Coaches ground their work in the MQI rubric, a math-specific coaching rubric. The rubric focuses on student-centered learning. Elements include an emphasis on conceptual understanding, high cognitive demand, and classroom discourse.
