"We are busy taking to heart the action steps as a result of our partnership with Confianza, including systemizing communication, selecting tiered vocabulary, discussions about where and how to incorporate the language pieces into our planners so they are accessible, visible, and regularly utilized, and continuing to clarify roles in how to best use the time and expertise of our ELL teachers."

— ROBYN ibrahim, ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL

"Confianza has been an essential partner in building school and district-wide structures. With Sarah’s support, we have been able to put a Language Lens at the center for teachers and school leaders. Confianza’s user-friendly tools and resources, expert direct coaching, and organized follow-through have been key."

— tobie bass, english learner Program Director

"Confianza helped me to see things I normally would not see when observing teachers by talking and debriefing. As a result, action steps were created. I would recommend this support to other leaders who are looking to make a change."

The Action Cycle®: A 4-step process—Ask, Analyze, Act, Assess—designed to drive measurable, mission-aligned growth in instructional systems.
