Our Vision
JACKIE FRANGIS
Educational Evangelist & Elevate Educators Founder
I founded Elevate Educators after years of working alongside teachers and school leaders who were passionate, capable, and deeply committed, yet often overwhelmed by competing demands and initiatives. I saw firsthand that meaningful growth doesn’t come from disconnected workshops or quick fixes. It comes from intentional learning, strong relationships, and sustained support.
My vision is simple: to elevate educators by honoring their expertise, building their confidence, and walking beside them as they grow. When professional learning is collaborative, relevant, and rooted in real classroom practice, it becomes transformative, not just for educators, but for entire school communities.
At Elevate Educators, we don’t just deliver professional development. We build capacity, inspire possibility, and support schools reach their highest potential, together.
What We Do
Job-embedded support from expert consultants to strengthen instructional practice.
Coaching
Learning Labs
Engaging, research-based workshops that introduce, extend, and deepen learning across PreK-12th grade content areas
Mentoring
Guided support for new and early-career teachers led by experienced educators.
Online Courses
Flexible learning that prepares paraprofessionals to effectively support instruction.
Curriculum & Assessment Design
Partnering with teachers on backward design (UbD) curriculum and aligned assessments.
Everything we do is rooted in one belief: teachers deserve support that actually helps. Not more noise, not more paperwork — but practical, meaningful partnership that strengthens instruction and makes the work feel more doable. These services are designed to meet educators where they are and move learning forward.
Why Elevate Educators
Elevate Educators is a forward-thinking professional learning organization committed to staying ahead of the curve in research, instructional practice, and educational innovation. Our work is grounded in what’s current, what’s effective, and what truly supports educators and districts.
A True Partnership: Never One-Size-Fits-All
We believe professional learning should be designed with districts, not delivered to them. Our work begins with listening, deeply understanding your district’s goals, challenges, and context. From there, we design, develop, and deliver customized professional learning aligned to your vision. We partner closely with districts every step of the way to ensure relevance, coherence, and lasting impact.
Expert Educators Who Lead
With Competence, Passion, and Joy
Our consultants are seasoned educators and instructional leaders, current practitioners and recently retired professionals who continue to teach, mentor, consult, and lead across districts and organizations. Because we remain deeply connected to classrooms and schools, our work is practical, credible, and immediately applicable.
Just as important, we love this work. Our professional learning is delivered with confidence, care, and joy. Educators consistently tell us that our passion is evident and energizing—creating learning experiences that educators lean into and carry forward.
Research-Based & Practice-Ready
We stay current by actively engaging in professional learning ourselves, attending and presenting at conferences, studying emerging research, and mentoring educators at all stages of their careers. This ensures our work bridges research and classroom practice in ways that are meaningful, relevant, and actionable.

"Jackie at Elevate Educators provided exceptional professional development by modeling and coaching best practices to ensure that every student is receiving targeted support to enable them to be successful in the classroom. The MTSS system and Jackie’s guidance and processes, provided tools to close the gaps of unfinished learning through early intervention techniques. Jackie set individual goals for each teacher, supported us with her plethora of knowledge on the multi-tiered support system and provided us with tools to immediately use in our classroom."

"The moment I spoke to Jackie, I immediately knew that I made the right choice. Jackie was more than amazing! She listened intently to my desired areas of focus, offered suggestions, and assisted me in creating a professional development day that was relevant and considerate of the identified needs.
