Thank You for Valuing Our Professional Service Providers

We are grateful for the continued partnership and trust the schools place in our Professional Service Providers (PSPs). Your commitment to high-quality professional learning and system improvement has resulted in increased demand for support, particularly in literacy and school improvement.

Because of that demand, we are expanding our capacity in both areas for the 2026–27 school year.

When districts intentionally engage Professional Service Providers, the impact reaches beyond professional learning; it directly influences classroom practice, teacher confidence and ultimately student achievement. By providing job-embedded coaching, collaborative planning support and systems-level guidance, PSPs help ensure that evidence-based strategies move from training sessions into daily instruction.

If you have not yet submitted your service needs for 2026–27, now is the time to do so through our Request AEA Services. Early planning allows us to align staffing, ensure continuity of support and respond to district priorities with intention.

Schools are leveraging Professional Service Providers in a variety of ways, such as:

• Supporting implementation of evidence-based literacy practices aligned to the science of reading
• Coaching teachers and instructional leaders on high-impact instructional strategies
• Facilitating data analysis cycles to drive instructional decision-making and improve student outcomes
• Guiding school improvement planning and continuous improvement processes
• Providing embedded professional development within PLCs and leadership meetings
• Supporting MTSS design and implementation
• Assisting with curriculum review, selection and alignment
• Partnering with teachers to implement effective behavior supports and classroom management systems
• Supporting the integration of academic and behavior frameworks to strengthen Tier 1 instruction
• Building internal leadership capacity to sustain improvement efforts over time

We look forward to partnering with you as you plan for 2026–27 and continuing the strong collaborative work already underway.
