Welcome Dr. Wellinthon Garcia-Mathews, our new ENL & Community Partner Specialist
OUR WHY
Across our region, districts are grappling with shifting demographics, rising student needs, increased accountability, and a leadership pipeline stretched thin. To meet this need, we’ve strategically aligned two powerful entities—the Center for Educational Leadership and the Guidance & Child Study Center into a single, integrated hub:
LEADERSHIP AND STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES
This is a systems-level solution designed to deliver what districts need now:
Cohesive, equity-driven leadership and student support services
Cross-disciplinary expertise delivered under one department
Responsive, customized programming that is as agile as the times demand
WHY THIS MATTERS—FOR YOU, YOUR STAFF, AND YOUR STUDENTS
Our Students and Communities are Changing:
More multilingual learners, more cultural and racial diversity, more complex social-emotional needs. Leadership and Student Support Services is structured to meet these shifts head-on, with clinicians, leadership coaches, our ENL specialist, and our Equity strategist working together.
Our Challenges are Interconnected:
Instructional leadership, mental health, belonging, and family engagement do not operate in silos. Neither do we.
Our Solutions Must Be Strategic:
Whether it’s early college access, restorative practice, leadership pipeline development, or inclusive systems design, Leadership and Student Support Services offers services aligned with NYSED priorities and grounded in evidence-based practice.
Leadership and Student Support Services is ready to partner with boldness and with precision. We’re not offering generic workshops or surface-level fixes. We’re offering customized partnership, capacity building, and leadership alignment that will help you meet this moment and shape the next.
