Make M2 reflect the language and expectations your team uses every day. Upload the frameworks your instructors already know so feedback stays clear, consistent, and relevant to their goals.

✅ Any framework or rubric your team uses

Every district defines great teaching a little differently - your own language, frameworks, & goals.

When you share your frameworks, curriculum, & standards with M2, the feedback your teachers receive stays aligned to your district’s goals in every classroom.🤝 #EduSky

Researchers like John Hattie and Robert Marzano have studied what really helps students learn, and the answer is clear:

Feedback is one of the top drivers of student growth—if it’s clear, specific, and focused on real classroom practice. 🧑‍🏫 #EduSky

Swivl @swivl.com · Aug 20

Feedback can feel like a gut punch. It’s scary, personal, and sometimes uncomfortable. But if you want to grow as an educator, you need more than bravery.

You need clarity.

That’s why daily, evidence-based feedback is essential. And where M2 comes in. 🤓 🤖 #EduSky

When a teacher is putting full energy & intention into their practice, & the feedback suggests something still isn’t landing, it can feel like a punch to the gut. Like, “If I’m doing my best and it’s still not enough, then what?”

That’s why our coaching presence matters.🤝 #EduSky

Instructional coaching isn’t about knowing it all. It’s not about walking into a classroom with a multi-point plan. And it’s definitely not about running the show while the teacher watches from the sidelines.

But sometimes it’s hard to let go of control. 😱 #EduSky

We can’t always be in the room - But M2 can.

M2 quietly collects bite-sized feedback on key teaching practices - engagement, questioning, & pacing, without requiring a full, formal observation.

It's an extra set of eyes, observing so teachers can review on their own time. #EduSky

There’s a coaching truth we rarely say out loud: time is tight.

How do we create space for teachers to think, process, and grow — when we barely have space ourselves?

That’s where tools like M2 change the game. 🧑‍🏫 #EduSky
