ASSET Inc.

ASSET Inc. is an education improvement nonprofit that provides educator professional development and coaching services. ASSET (Achieving Student Success through Excellence in Teaching) provides educators with rigorous professional learning and coaching to help them increase student achievement and foster the development of 21st century workforce skills. By supporting educators, ASSET prepares young people to live, work, contribute, and lead in a global community. Since 1994, ASSET has partnered with institutions such as the U.S. Department of Education, the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Pennsylvania Department of Education, school districts, corporate partners, charitable foundations, and national networks like 100Kin10 to advance educator practice and improve student achievement. As an approved Leadership and Assistance for Science Education Reform (LASER) organization, ASSET is authorized by the Smithsonian Science Education Center to work in partnership with such stakeholders to help create infrastructure to effect sustainable change in education. Independent studies show that ASSET teachers develop increased understanding of content and concepts, improved pedagogy, and strengthened peer collaboration. These advances have fostered increased student achievement in science, math, and English Language Arts in high-needs schools (Banilower & Weis, 2009; Raghavan, Cohen-Regev, & Strobel, 2001; Nedley, 2016)
