School improvement planning and coaching is a critical component of effectively educating all students.  With research informed school improvement planning and effective coaching, school districts can accelerate the closing of opportunity gaps in schools.  When this is done effectively, state mandated summative assessment results naturally improve as a part of the process.  Our team of experts works directly with district and building leaders to get to the "why" related to their current outcomes.  From there we work with district and building leadership teams to develop individuals plans of action that ensure the development, implementation, maintenance, support and celebration of school improvement plans that are broadly supported by all school stakeholders. This inclusive process focuses on intense coaching, leader vulnerability, asking the right questions of the right people and a commitment to ongoing feedback.
