The Challenge

  • 1High teacher turnover affecting school stability and community trust.
  • 2Middle leaders lacked confidence and skills for advancement.
  • 3Board governance needed strengthening for strategic decision-making.

Our Approach

  • Executive coaching for principal and senior leadership team.
  • Middle leadership development program with monthly workshops and peer coaching.
  • Board governance training including strategic planning and risk oversight.
  • Created internal leadership competency framework and succession planning process.
The leadership program was transformative for our school culture. Our middle leaders now have clear pathways for growth, and the governance training helped our board become true strategic partners.
