Coteach Is Now IM Certified® — Here’s What That Means for the Deeper Ways We Work with Districts to Bring the IM Vision to Life

Coteach, an AI-powered tool built in partnership with Teaching Lab Studio to make curricula clearer and flexible for administrators and teachers, is now IM Certified® by Illustrative Mathematics!

This makes Teaching Lab the only organization with both IM Certified services and IM Certified tools to help educators bring the IM vision to life.

Coteach knows all of IM’s curriculum’s content, understands how all the units and lessons fit together across the curriculum, and is aligned with all pedagogical principles and frameworks aligned with IM’s vision. Coteach isn’t a generic AI tool bolted onto your curriculum. It’s designed to work the way IM works, while making it more flexible for your district’s unique and dynamic needs. This means Coteach knows how to support your teachers and teams without undermining the rigor your district invested in.

For both districts already adopting and districts exploring using IM v.360, this matters. IM Certification means our partners can trust the rigor and quality of the supports we provide through our services, and now our tools as well.

  • Teachers use Coteach to plan and adapt IM lessons while staying grounded in grade-level expectations. When pacing shifts, Coteach accounts for how that ripples through the rest of the unit. When students need scaffolds, it builds them into the lesson — not around it.
  • School leaders use Coteach to align observation priorities with what teachers are actually delivering — and to connect the dots of IM implementation from one school year to the next.
  • District leaders use Coteach to ensure districtwide coherence and translate school-level needs into actionable supports — anytime.

If you’re already in the IM ecosystem or in the early days of exploring IM, Coteach is ready to support you every step of the way. Teachers and administrators can start Coteach for free today. Need some inspiration on where to begin? Check out these prompts and blogs on where to get started…
