Professional Development Services
How We Work
With Districts: At the highest level, our leadership consultants work as strategic thought partners with district leadership to address systemic issues, typically around leadership capacity, cultural proficiency, mathematics, or literacy. Working alongside district leaders and coaches, we help to build their depth and expertise in the specific areas.
With Schools: The second level of work is at the school leadership level, working with Principals, APs and coaches to improve their practice to have a greater impact on the school environment and instruction. We help improve student learning by creating leadership management organizational systems that connect district-level and school leadership priorities to clearly defined, measurable instructional goals.
With Teachers: Finally, we provide shoulder-to-shoulder, job-embedded professional development for teachers. We work with teachers to improve their teaching practices through demonstration lessons and coaching so they can have a more positive impact on children.
Our engagements offer customized formats that can include Job-Embedded Coaching, Workshops, Institutes, Virtual-Coaching, Data Collecting and Academic Audits
