ACCELERATING CHANGE SO THAT TOMORROW'S SUCCESS, ARRIVES TODAY!
WHO WE ARE
Accelerating Success
Isaac and Rocco have been in education for almost twenty years combined. Over the course of their time in education, they oversaw the increase of school performance in over thirty schools, most of whom were in low income areas. They have also overseen creating and delivering district wide PD where they were able service hundreds of teachers. Their love for children and their passion for influencing teachers to influence children lead them to create Accelerating Success. They also served on committees to select district wide school resources where they could learn the ins and outs of a quality supplemental school resources. These two unique opportunities allowed them to construct a unique company that can focus on both aspects of education. Accelerating Success is equipped to reach children on the classroom level with the supplemental resources. They are equipped to reach teachers through quality professional learning. Their journey through education has truly allowed them to become a holistically beneficial company to any school environment that is looking for sustainable change.

OUR PHILOSPHY
Why Accelerating Success?
We chose the name Accelerating Success because we believe that this is what American education needs to do to keep up with the rest of the world. We also found synergy with the phrase because the method in which we believe this can be achieved is by focusing our instruction on what NGSS calls the four C's of 21st century learners. The four qualities that we believe should be focused on are Critical Thinking, Creativity, Collaboration, and Communication. We are guided by these principles as we create each professional learning experience or educational resource.
TESTIMONIALS
William Prats

Todd Goings
Teacher- Grade 3
“Every training I received from Isaac and Rocco was first class. The material was relevant. The learning experiences were engaging. It was obvious that the preparation had been thoughtful. Every workshop I attended was done with excellence. I would highly recommend Isaac and Rocco to anyone considering Professional Development.”
Kendall Condit
Assistant Principal
“These gentlemen exceeded expectations every campus visit! They meet teachers at each teacher's level of mastery then scaffolded the learning to build capacity and competence. Mr. Washington and Mr. Williams met individually and in small groups with science teachers to assist in curriculum implementation, data dis-aggregation, technology integration, and strategies to bolster student achievement. We were disheartened when they were no longer a direct resource for our campus.”
Diane Rainone
Teacher- Montessori
“Both were very professional, the subject matter was applicable to my students' learning, the class was fun and interactive, and I got lots of ideas that I have used in my classroom since then. They both instill an enthusiasm that carries over to their students.”
Rose Elliot
Teacher- Grade 5
“These gentlemen were very well prepared and knowledgeable about the content that was being delivered. They were always professional and very helpful to everyone in the training. If I needed further assistance, they would come to my school and help me, and even instruct my students in specific areas of the content of science.”
