New coaches and other leaders deserve better onboarding.
Give your school/district coaches and anyone providing feedback to teachers the training they deserve: a clear, coaching framework grounded in language and accessibility—so they can make an impact from day one.
Coaches support teachers—but who’s supporting them?
Confianza-trained coaches don’t just assist teachers—they lead the way in ensuring ALL students reach grade-level standards. But without the right training, even the best coaches—or any leader observing teachers—can feel underprepared and unconfident.
Your coaching program lacks a strong foundation.
Your observation and feedback cycles are only as strong as the training you and your coaches and other leaders receive. Without a clear framework, coaches and other instructional leaders struggle to provide consistent, high-impact support.

Stronger Coaching + Stronger Teaching = Real Student Growth
Most coaching programs focus on generic instructional coaching—Confianza's Core Coach Training ensures that coaching centers language, literacy and accessibility to grade level standards for ALL students, starting with multilingual learners.
Invest in fully-prepared coaches and leaders who improve instruction in real-time.
it doesn't have to be like that

The Language Lens® Approach for Today's Classrooms
The Language Lens™ is a transformative framework designed to help leaders and educators build thriving classrooms by fostering growth in both adults and students. Created through over two decades of field experience with tens of thousands of educators by Sarah B. Ottow, it equips educators to strengthen their own skills and confidence while meeting every student’s language and literacy needs. Rooted in research and practical strategies, the Language Lens™ supports leaders in guiding their teams to integrate language learning into all aspects of teaching, creating meaningful, lasting change at every level in today’s classrooms.
With decades of experience as a bilingual educator, instructional coach, graduate program leader and consultant, I have trained tens of thousands of teachers and leaders to support multilingual learners effectively. As author of The Language Lens, I specialize in making language and literacy development an integral part of every classroom, equipping coaches and educators with practical, research-backed tools to drive real impact. Through the Confianza Core Trained Coach Program, I share my proven step-by-step process to help coaches lead with clarity, confidence and purpose.
I'm Sarah B. Ottow, lifelong educator, coach and change agent.
"Confianza has been able to, in a welcoming and safe way, build the capacity of each of our instructional coaches in every instructional discipline to coach through the lens of accessibility."
"Asking questions, diving deeper, reevaluating tools for bias, recognizing your own personal bias, defining and understanding the qualities of effective instruction—I found this insightful and inspiring."
