Carnegie Learning

Kasey Bratcher, CSO

While annual professional development is a mandatory district requirement for teachers in the U.S., it often falls short in relevance and usefulness, leaving educators unengaged and uninterested.

“We create personalized professional learning experiences that inspire, empower, and honor each educator,” says Kasey Bratcher, chief services officer at Carnegie Learning. “We ensure they never feel alone, and instead feel seen, heard, and in control.”

Carnegie Learning partners with schools and districts across the country to design and deliver a wide variety of professional learning services for both teachers and leaders. Educators feel confident as their training sessions also include live classes with students. The company’s classroom sessions harness the power of AI, formative assessment, and adaptive learning.

To ensure a smooth onboarding process at the district level, Carnegie Learning identifies teachers’ focus areas and subpopulations to deliver personalized experiences. Training is segmented by subject and grade, providing relevant content and learner-centered workshops, including summer sessions. Through classroom follow-up and cognitive coaching with subject matter experts, teachers drive their own learning and growth with Carnegie Learning’s support and guidance.

For over 25 years, Carnegie Learning has set the standard for its commitment to using AI and data to provide the highest quality K-12 educational resources in the market. The company stands out with a targeted pedagogical approach, research-proven practices, a diverse team of experienced facilitators, high participant ratings, and an established track record of maintaining the highest standard of professional learning in the country.

For example, Carnegie Learning was pivotal in revitalizing the Kentucky Educational Cooperative's low math scores among middle school students. By uncovering the link between elementary-level teaching and subsequent success, they highlighted the significance of elementary-level content as a predictor for future achievements, including Algebra 1 proficiency.

The company’s comprehensive professional learning services, such as program review, instructional framework design, leadership capacity training, coaching for principals, teacher-specific content development, and access to high-quality instructional materials, improves grades, confidence and ignites a sense of hope among students to pursue greater learning opportunities.

The company’s research-based professional learning services, designed specifically for teachers, align with six productive learning characteristics: ensuring relevance/content-focus, incorporating active learning, networking collaboration, coaching for professional learning communities, offering feedback and reflection to promote metacognition and training for a sustained duration.

Carnegie Learning’s philosophy, "Others teach what; We teach why" changes the way the world thinks about learning by creating meaningful "aha" moments that bring content to life, both for students and teachers.

Carnegie Learning excels at customization, supporting small partnerships or extensive district-wide projects. Having worked with 18 of the 20 largest US school districts, it has elevated many educators' career trajectories.

Carnegie Learning is empowering educational institutions and district administrations with unparalleled solutions to conquer the challenges in education, breathing life into difficult subjects and ensuring students grasp concepts with enthusiasm. Their tagline, LONG+LIVE+LEARNING, encourages us to remember that we are all truly students throughout the trajectory of our lives.
