Classrooms, Schools, and Districts
What is Your Current Reality?
If your classroom, school, or district is not a space where both students and staff are experiencing success then it is time to redesign this reality. If not, our work as educators falls dangerously in line with one definition of insanity, "Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
You hold the power to redesign the reality of your classroom, school, and district; and, by doing so, can change the trajectory of students' lives for generations.
The bottom line is redesigning the reality of education begins with us, professional educators.
Consulting and Professional Learning
With site- and district-level experience in developing and implementing schoolwide systems of support, state and federal programs (e.g., Title I), and data-based decision making, we can assist schools and districts develop and implement programs that will increase graduation and college-going rates, enrollment, and Average Daily Attendance (ADA) while decreasing D/F rates and the number of students dropping out of school:
- Effective dropout prevention program
- Content/concept recovery program to ensure subject-area mastery for grade remediation
- Schoolwide intervention system for ALL students -- from Students with Disabilities to English Language Learners to GATE/Honors/AP
- One-day hybrid Restorative Practices and Using Circles Effectively training
We can also assist with the organizing and writing of School Plans for Student Achievement (SPSAs) and Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) Self Studies.
