Don’t just take our word for it…

When I first listened to Ildi talk about what her vision was for Ribbit Learning, I thought ‘’Wow, this is what people have been needing. What an impact this has the potential to bring!’’ I have always seen the need for true support in the teaching field and I think that Ribbit has the potential to reach teachers in a way that has never been done before!

The LEAP Coaching Model and Coaching Cycle provide a clear and structured approach to coaching that can help me feel more confident in my ability to support teachers. By following a clear process, coaches can feel more in control of their coaching sessions and better equipped to address any challenges or obstacles that may arise. Additionally, the Coaching Cycle provides a framework for ongoing reflection and improvement, which can further enhance a coach’s confidence and effectiveness over time.

I like the LEAP Coaching Cycle and want to implement more of it with my current teachers. This is an amazing program you are providing to districts and schools. I am excited to see how this will impact our schools for the future.  We need teacher retention and teachers need support.
