As an approved provider for the LASO 4 LIFT grant through the Texas Education Agency (TEA), ANet will partner with school districts to support both the planning and implementation of high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) in schools across the state of Texas.

As a part of the LIFT grant, Campus Coaches build strong relationships with campus leaders, instructional coaches and teachers to drive campus instructional leadership and planning and implementation at the campus level. The Campus Coach is responsible for working closely with the District Coach and LIFT Lead at ANet to build and execute strategic campus level plans for Instructional Leadership practices and HQIM planning and implementation that align with the district plan.

Campus Coaches support gathering and submitting campus level data and surveys to their District Coach and LIFT Lead to measure strengths and areas of growth with the grant program.

Working together Campus Coaches and District Coaches plan, review, collaborate, problem solve and participate in coaching towards grant activities creation based on data.
