Leading a school can be isolating. Having someone to support you in the challenges you face, to ask you important questions, and to connect you to helpful resources can be the difference between doing the job and loving the job.
Governance
Board leadership is unique in both it's challenges and ability to impact the organization. A highly effective board doesn't just happen. We can provide training for your board and support for your chair so that your board functions at the highest level and moves the school forward in providing every child with an exemplary education.
Leadership Evaluation
