Florence USD turned to AI-powered coaching to overcome leadership fragmentation and outdated evaluation methods—unlocking faster feedback, deeper reflection, and a stronger culture of continuous growth.
Florence Unified School District (USD) faced resistance to teacher development due to decentralized leadership, making district-wide implementation inconsistent. At the same time, they struggled to recruit qualified teachers and relied on time-consuming, scripted evaluations. New teaching demands highlighted the need for scalable, efficient coaching solutions.
Sibme introduced AI-driven tools to streamline observations, eliminate manual scripting, and enable targeted feedback. Teachers began receiving immediate insights and data-backed evaluations. The platform empowered leaders to reflect, coach, and implement strategies aligned with evolving student needs.
Sibme’s AI coaching transformed teacher development at Florence USD. By simplifying evaluation, enabling data-driven insights, and creating space for deep reflection, educators gained clarity and direction in their practice. The district now embraces a culture of professional growth, where AI supports long-term improvement. With plans to expand the use of AI coaching, Florence USD is building a more collaborative, future-ready teaching ecosystem centered on student success.
“I did the Flesch-Kincaid level of an eighth-grade science teacher versus a fourth-grade science teacher. The fourth-grade teacher’s vocabulary level was two grades higher than the eighth-grade teacher. When we used that as a starting point, their eyes were just like, ‘Wow.’"
“Everything we're using really does filter down to what's best for kids and learning.”
