We develop faculty to be exceptional instructors
Beacon Instructional Partners works with individual instructors, department heads, deans, and institutions to provide customized, research-based instructional supports and coaching.
We revere teaching as a true intellectual profession and believe great teachers, educators, and instructors are made, not born. Our methods are based on the foundational belief that expert coaching and support is a professional right that all instructors, of any level, can benefit from.
A different type of support:
Highly customized, job-embedded instructional support
Targeted coaching that benefits instructors of all levels and experience
Strategies that increase rigor, equity, and engagement while improving course evaluation scores
Our coaches are trained in providing specific, actionable feedback rooted in research-backed pedagogical best practices. By providing external instructional support disconnected from an institution’s formal evaluation process, we create a low-stress, non-judgmental environment for instructors to learn and improve their craft. Our targeted supports are often a unique and critical complement to existing faculty development programs offered at many institutions.
