Avant Learn Pedagogy Pathway

Every educator brings a unique combination of experience, curiosity, and growth needs to professional learning. This pathway of courses is built around a three-tiered growth framework that supports you at every stage of your professional journey.

Whether you’re building confidence in foundational practices, expanding your instructional impact, or shaping the learning of others, our courses help you grow with purpose.

Our framework includes three stages of development:

Rooted→Rising→Regenerating 

Each stage of a teaching career needs unique support in professional development. This pathway meets educators where they are as they deepen expertise, expand influence, and sustain meaningful impact in their classrooms and communities.

ADVANCE Proficiency Pathway

Originally developed to train Avant STAMP raters, ADVANCE is an interactive course series designed to deepen educators’ understanding of language proficiency and student language development.
Through guided practice evaluating real student work, educators build the skills to interpret proficiency and translate that understanding into meaningful classroom decisions.

ADVANCE helps educators:
  • Deepen understanding of language proficiency through authentic student responses
  • Build consistency in evaluating writing using standardized performance descriptors
  • Communicate proficiency clearly to students and families
  • Strengthen confidence in instructional decision-making
As the pathway progresses, educators move beyond understanding proficiency to using it as a powerful tool to guide feedback, instruction, and program decisions.

Using data to drive instructional decisions

This level focuses on using proficiency data to inform instructional planning and program improvement. Educators learn to analyze student performance patterns, interpret proficiency trends, and apply assessment data to guide teaching decisions.

Courses in this level support identifying strengths and gaps in language development, adjusting instruction based on data, and making informed program and curriculum decisions to promote long-term growth.

By the end of this level, educators will be able to use proficiency data as a strategic tool to improve instruction and support language learning outcomes.
