Leadership Coaching to Sustain Performance
Colleagues in public education understand the critical demands and pressure on school
leaders and staffs to improve student performance. It is recognized and the research supports
the fact that only highly trained teachers and administrators can master the complexity and
sustainability of the many programs required both in the schools and at the district level. Therefore,
building capacity of staff through high quality professional development is the primary goal.
We have a flexible solution plan to specifically address the professional development needs and
requirements of districts, NCLB, and current grant programs. Learning Plus has the ability to target precise
professional development areas to meet the ever increasing demands for sophisticated solutions.
With ongoing transition of staff, the need for an aligned, consistent and relevant professional development
program has never been more critical.
Our professional staff has extensive experience in coaching leaders to achieve maximum
impact. They provide consultant services to districts and schools and work with district, site and staff
leaders focused on school improvement. Models for coaching have been developed aimed at
improving the skills and expertise of teachers, support staff and administrators. All models are
focused on building capacity for independence at sites and district wide as well as being based on
current research, best practices and proven strategies.
