Want to run a simply great school?
You can. Let us show you how.
How much better could schools be if leaders had a curriculum for leading like teachers have a curriculum for teaching?
Join more than 25 schools across the country who are starting the year with:
19 summer PDs and 21 during-the-year PDs planned and scripted (including all the PPTs and videos)
22 aligned, planned, and scripted coaching meetings for the year
Every leadership team meeting planned for the year
58 school readiness artifacts all linked to a comprehensive readiness planner
Every leader intensively trained over 5 joyful, practice-rich days on the 5 big leader skills and 7 mindsets of a great school leader
What if you could have all of that before the year began? Well, we built that curriculum. We led that training. And dozens of schools across the country are participating in our School Leadership Intensive or Leaders Fellowship Programs and poised to have their best years YET.
While leaders at these schools are already reporting transformational changes in adult and student culture, imagine the impact they will have with world-class coaching and support the rest of the year.
Support such as:
5 additional full-day, on-site PDs to ensure deep skill building and preparation for the next portion of the Arc of the Year
5 half-day, on-site coaching visits to provide real-time support to leaders
10 Zoom PDs to continue skill-building, reflecting, and action planning
Access to our comprehensive playbook (called “the goldmine of goldmines” … “a school leader’s fantasy” by our partners) of resources.
Access to prompt email and text responses and the ability to have fast 15-minute coaching bursts as needed
These schools are on the path to being Simply Great Schools.
We invite you to join them.
What do we believe?
If schools are learning engines for leaders and teachers, they become learning engines for students.
Just as teachers need a strong curriculum to drive rapid student growth, leaders need a strong curriculum — a leader playbook — to drive rapid teacher growth.
The fundamental problem in American education is not a lack of innovation; it’s a lack of relentless execution on a set of proven systems and practices that support rapid leader, teacher, and student development. (We’re not anti-innovation. We just want much-needed innovation to be embedded within these proven structures.)
What do we do?
We help schools build learning engines for leaders and teachers by both developing leader skills (through world-class practice and coaching) and supporting the strong execution of a robust playbook of customizable and turnkey-able PDs and systems.
Train Your Leadership Teams
We work intensely with entire school leadership teams – principal managers, principals, and deans/APs – to ensure that all leaders have the skills and playbook/tools to rapidly develop teachers in service of student achievement.
Grow Your Next Leaders
We work with districts, charter network organizations, and city support organizations to design and execute world-class leadership development programs for current and emerging CEOs & C-Suite leaders, principal managers, principals, and deans/APs/other school leaders.
Customize Your Support
Speaking engagements, C-level support, curriculum implementation and support, teacher training, and school readiness are just a few of the customized consulting supports we’ve offered in the past.
