Job-Embedded Consulting and Coaching
Although I enjoy inspiring audiences, I'm committed to helping schools grow their learner successes (students and adults). The hardest part of making an initiative successful is the implementation, and that's where I thrive. Let's partner to plan, implement, and grow your initiatives. Some areas worth considering are:
-
Clarity work (learning targets, success criteria, and co-construction)
-
Grading policy reform (including parent outreach and stakeholder meetings like board meetings)
-
Alternative assessment development (PBL, creative assessment, etc)
-
Curriculum writing, revision, and development for learner-led paradigms
-
Student focus groups
-
Learning walks
-
Goal setting, progress tracking, reflection, and self-assessment
-
Development of competency-based and standards-based learning progressions
-
Formative assessment
-
PLC support - developing staff and student collective efficacy
-
Data collection and usage
-
Higher Education Learning
-
And more to meet your class, school, or district's unique needs and context...
