Principal Urban Assembly School of Design and Construction, New York
We help educators who are frustrated by low student achievement and overwhelmed by rapidly changing student demographics. A lot of people grab a quick fix that's "teacher proof" and end up throwing away a lot of money and time chasing canned solutions that just don't work. Instead, we help schools get to the core of their instructional challenges and use a set of simple principles to build their own capacity to resolve these challenges. As a result, teachers and principals feel more invested and empowered to reach all of their students.
Our facilitators can help you clarify your goals, work with you to develop an effective plan, help members of the group move through planning meetings efficiently, and ensure that all viewpoints are heard and understood. When the group gets stuck, we can suggest ways that will help the group move forward. After the initial meeting, our facilitators can help participants develop an action plan or next steps. We help you:
- Remove institutional barriers to student achievement.
- Create or grow an equitable AP program.
- Backmap your curriculum from the state tests or AP exam.
- Create a school-wide curricular scope and sequence focused on rigor.
- Implement strategies to create a college-going culture.
- Create professional learning communities focused on differentiated instruction.
- Create a comprehensive school improvement plan that will actually deliver results.
- Examine data to help you make better, more powerful decisions.
- Build collaboration that will dramatically stream-line the decision-making processes
- Develop an action plan that will help you overcome a particular challenge
- Establish and realistic, measurable, and attainable goals and achieve them
- Articulate your vision to your stakeholders, including parents and school boards.
From time to time, you may have a special project on which you need our help. It could be anything from helping you roll out a new district-wide school improvement initiative to helping you consolidate a series of subcommittee reports into one cohesive document for your school board. We offer special, customizable services to help you with these type of projects and make sure that your initiative or vision is realized.
