BRING DURABLE SKILLS TO LIFE IN YOUR DISTRICT
From Aspiration to Evidence
Your district has a vision for the skills students need. How do you turn that vision into meaningful classroom experiences?
Through BEST—Building Essential Skills Today for the Future—NHLI partners with districts to make Collaboration, Communication, Self Direction, and Creativity visible, teachable, and assessable.
Our customized consulting and professional learning help districts bring their Portrait of a Graduate to life, strengthen instructional practices, and build educator capacity.
How NHLI Can Support Your District
Customized Consulting and Professional Learning
Every district is at a different point in its work with durable skills. NHLI offers flexible partnerships designed around your goals, existing initiatives, and educator needs.
Leadership and Strategic Alignment
Connect your Portrait of a Graduate and district priorities to a practical implementation plan.
Instruction & Assessment
Integrate learning progressions, rubrics, instructional strategies, and student reflection into teaching and assessment.
Professional Learning & Teacher-Led Design
Engage educators in collaborative workshops, design labs, and coaching to adapt NHLI BEST for their classrooms.
Implementation & Continuous Improvement
Examine student evidence, refine practices, and build capacity for sustainable implementation.
Research-Informed. Teacher-Designed. Classroom-Tested.
BEST resources were developed through a research–practice partnership with New Hampshire teachers as design leaders and students as partners. NHLI brings this same collaborative approach to district partnerships.
We don’t offer a one-size-fits-all program. We work alongside your educators to turn your district’s priorities into classroom practice.
