Start running a great school tomorrow.
Are you wasting your time planning instead of executing with excellence? Stop.
There’s a better way.
If you’re tired of running yourself ragged trying to help your school, network, or district become great, we can help.
We’ve worked with 200+ leaders in 12 cities over the past 3 years to radically improve schools in less than a year, driving double-digit achievement gains with increased leader and teacher retention.
What do we do?
5 Ways We Can Work Together
Leader Curriculum: We've created a leadership curriculum that has saved leaders hundreds of hours of planning time, increased teacher and leader retention, and improved achievement results that's been used in more than 60 schools in the past two years. It includes 50+ scripted PDs with PPTs, scripted practice clinics, and scripted coaching meetings with exemplar videos, and will lay out exactly what you need to do in every meeting you run at your school. Ask us how to get your hands on it so your schools can do the same.
Curriculum Implementation: We've worked with some of the dozens of schools across the country to drive math and ELA achievement results through effective implementation of high-quality instructional materials. Ask us how we might help your leaders and teachers implement the most-used curricula out there to get results.
1-on-1 Coaching: We love coaching C-level leaders, principal managers, principals, and APs to run great schools that get great results for kids and ensure that all teachers develop. Ask us how one of our excellent coaches can help you do the same.
Keynote Speaking: We've loved motivating and inspiring leaders to reach their fullest potential, all through practical, immediately applicable insights. We've keynoted at charter school conferences, PD days for districts, and for a host of educational organizations who are trying to run great teams. Ask us how we can help.
Cohorts: We have helped dozens of organizations rapidly improve leader skill through customized cohorts that combine live PD, individualized coaching, site visits, and robust resources. Ask us about developing a world-class cohort for your leaders.
How much better could schools be if leaders had a curriculum for leading like teachers have a curriculum for teaching?
What do you get when you work with us?
20+ readiness exemplars
20+ fully scripted summer turnkey PDs
30 fully scripted PDs with PPTs for every week of the school year
45 fully scripted turnkey coaching meetings and practice clinics
Every leader meeting agenda you’d ever want to run to run a great school
Every leadership team meeting planned for the year
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.
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.)
