OUR TEAM

Intentional Coaching: Transforming Educators, Elevating Impact

At CQA Next, we believe that great teaching is cultivated through intentional, intensive coaching—not left to chance. Our residency model is built on the foundation that aspiring educators thrive when they receive expert mentorship, structured feedback, and hands-on experience in real classrooms.

Through sustained, high-impact coaching, our Clinical Coaches do more than observe. They co-develop instructional strategies, model best practices, and empower residents to refine their craft every single day. Our residents benefit from individualized mentorship that accelerates their professional growth and ensures they are fully prepared to lead their own classrooms.

This deep investment in teacher development extends beyond coaching. As adjunct faculty, our Clinical Coaches bridge the gap between theory and practice, ensuring residents receive a rigorous academic foundation while mastering the real-world skills necessary for classroom success.

By prioritizing equity, innovation, and sustainable teacher development, CQA Next is not just preparing teachers—we’re shaping the future of education. Through intentional coaching, we are building a diverse, homegrown educator workforce that is deeply connected to our students, our community, and the long-term success of our schools.
