Don’t Forget: LETRS Coaching Protects your Educator Investment

Research from Ebbinghaus’s “Forgetting Curve” shows that, without reinforcement, new knowledge begins to decay almost immediately. Within 30 to 90 days, much of what teachers learn during professional development can be lost. That means your investment in training (and the promise of better instruction) may never reach students.

LETRS Coaching is the bridge between professional learning and lasting classroom impact. It provides the expert guidance and spaced reinforcement teachers need to turn theory into practice. Through 1:1, personalized, goal-based sessions, coaches help educators apply LETRS strategies with confidence and fidelity.

Instead of one-and-done training, LETRS Coaching creates a continuous learning cycle:

• Teachers revisit and refine key concepts over time.

• Coaches model effective instruction and provide actionable feedback.

• Educators build mastery that sticks, long after initial professional development sessions are complete.

When teachers sustain their learning, students benefit. Coaching correlates with stronger literacy gains and consistent instructional quality across classrooms. It also protects your investment by reducing costly retraining and preventing initiative fade.

Ask yourself:

• Do you have a plan to reinforce LETRS learning beyond initial professional development?

• Are teachers getting expert feedback tied directly to LETRS content?

• Are you ready to protect gains and avoid initiative churn?
