Case Study: Coastal Plains RESA strengthens teacher coaching and engagement with Swivl M2

Coastal Plains RESA supports 12 districts with Swivl's M2

Coastal Plains RESA, a regional educational agency supporting 12 rural school districts in Georgia, faced a challenge with teacher stress and isolation. With instructional coaches stretched thin supporting up to 80 teachers each, many educators, especially new ones, felt overwhelmed and lacked consistent support for growth. The vendor, Swivl, implemented its M2 device, an AI-powered instructional coaching tool, to provide teachers with real-time, non-evaluative feedback.

Swivl's M2 solution acted as an intelligent co-teacher, observing classroom dynamics and providing specific, actionable advice. It successfully mirrored a master teacher's questioning techniques during a lesson, providing immediate validation of its accuracy. The results included increased student engagement, as M2 modeled exemplar responses, and it broke the cycle of teacher isolation by offering private, supportive coaching. For Coastal Plains RESA, Swivl's M2 provided a scalable way to support every teacher despite limited resources.
