This service is completely free for all educators who are using our programs and includes:

• Guidance for developing lesson plans and intervention plans
• Information on where to locate standards and other planning materials
• Recommendations and tips for day-to-day teaching with Amplify programs
• Support with administering and interpreting assessment data and more

To reach our pedagogical team, use our live chat within your program, call (800) 823-1969, or email edsupport@amplify.com.

Timely technical and program support
Our technical and program support is included and available from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, through a variety of channels, including a live chat program that enables teachers to get immediate help in the middle of the school day.
