Individualized Leadership Coaching

Highly-skilled school leadership is a key predictor of student achievement and critical to successful improvement efforts for Local Education Agencies (LEAs) and schools. Leadership coaching is an effective form of professional learning because it is rooted in principles of adult learning and driven by the needs of context of the leader. It results in reflective, resourceful practitioners with agency to propel their own professional growth and capacity for transformational change. 
Individualized coaching that is built on relational trust, aligned to the California Professional Standards for Education Leaders (CPSEL) and focused on equity-centered problems of practice using continuous improvement principles to help leaders improve their practice. Coaches also support leaders with system transformation and help participants seek root causes, connections, and relationships in order to eliminate the predictability of outcomes based on social or cultural identity markers, to ensure all children fulfill their potential to thrive socially, emotionally, and academically.
