If you’ve ever been a teacher, you know the feeling.

You spent countless nights designing a lesson plan that would get your students excited about learning. You pored over strategies to connect with that smart but wayward student. You worked hard because you care about helping your kids succeed.

Then, things didn’t go quite like you planned.

We’ve been there. As experienced teachers and school administrators, we’ve ground through state-mandated curriculum, implored students, and dodged spitballs. Along the way, we learned that most of our colleagues in education felt the same way we did – they wanted to become better teachers because they cared about their students.

That’s why we’re so proud to launch Sibme, a new web app designed for teacher coaching and collaboration. Coaching is the most effective way to improve teacher quality and student outcomes, but it can be hard to fit into the schedule or a school’s budget. Sibme makes instructional coaching easy and accessible.  Furthermore, collaborating with your peers has never been easier.  Watch your peers teach and model best practices with actual students you teach.  It’s the epitome of authentic professional development.

Care to try it out? We offer free 60-day trials at www.sibme.com. Sign up and take it for a spin. We think you’ll be as excited as we are about the application.
