The team offers a wealth of expertise in educational consulting. Support can include conducting a needs assessment, supporting strategic planning for schools, developing community and family engagement plans, and programmatic support through implementation.
Through one-on-one or small group our team provides specialized coaching sessions. We offer personalized sessions for educators with trained instructional coaches to discuss problems of practice and refine knowledge and skills. Coaching sessions are responsive to educators' needs but often include support in planning and problems of practice. Virtual observations of implementation with coaching conversations to follow, and protocols to analyze student produced end products as a way to assess student learning are just some of the strategies that can be leveraged in this service.
