Consulting for Schools and District Leaders
Thoughtful partnership for leaders shaping instructional systems.
Leading instructional change requires clarity, alignment, and trust. I work with school and district leaders to strengthen instructional systems, support educators at scale, and make decisions that honor both vision and reality.
I work with leaders to make the work already underway clearer, more coherent, and more effective.
What I Support
Consulting partnerships commonly focus on:
-
Instructional vision and coherence: Clarifying priorities for teaching and learning and aligning systems to support them.
-
Equitable systems for multilingual learners and special populations: Examining policies and practices to ensure equity is built in—not layered on.
-
Professional learning alignment: Designing professional learning that directly supports instructional goals and respects educators’ time.
-
Leadership collaboration and capacity: Strengthening leadership teams and cross-role alignment.
-
Change and transition support: Thought partnership during periods of growth, refinement, or instructional shift.
How the Work Looks
Engagements are tailored to your context and may include:
-
Strategic advising
-
