Schoolhouse Leadership Coaching

As a school leader, you need more....your students and teachers need more.

You love your vocation as a Catholic school leader and you have all the jobs, from marketing to admissions, to instructional coach, to supervisor, to after school program director. 

​

Every school year, your leadership becomes more difficult, the lift is heavier. You have new staff, you want to be in classrooms more, you seem to have fewer resources to stretch. You need to integrate funding to bring in services, training, and materials.
 

We can help you streamline, strategize, access resources that will rise all boats. I can show you how to get more... so you can do more. 

Do you need support or problem-solving in the following areas?:

  • Accessing and positioning federal funds and special services with your local school district(s)?

  • Finding, hiring and retaining the strongest Catholic teachers.

  • Providing high quality supervision and feedback to teaching staff

  • Handling delicate staffing and family issues in ministerial manner

  • Developing teacher induction programs in your school or Diocese.

  • Create multi-year professional development plans to improve instructional capacity in your school.

  • Improving data-literacy across your school(s) that will lead to more effective teaching.

  • Implementing multi-tiered systems of support.

  • Devising schedules and developing material resources for your school that support student learning.

  • Curriculum audit or development to ensure alignment with assessments.

​

We want you to use your best and highest skills in this critical work of formation and academic development of the teachers, children and families in your care. You need support and I am here. 

 

Did you know, you can use Title 2 funds from your local school district for your own professional development and coaching?  We can show you how and provide you with exactly what you need. An investment in your leadership is an investment in your community.

TESTIMONIALS

"I have relied heavily on Dawn in terms of both expertise in federal funding and her diligent follow-through in the significant support which she provids St. Catherine’s; it is not an exaggeration to say that we would absolutely not have a Title I program in our school or have leveraged a great deal of other available funding if not for her. She understands well the many hats worn by a school principal and knows where to jump in and fill gaps for the school community with which she works, while still respecting established roles.

Dawn is a person of honesty, integrity and committed work ethic, and possesses an impressive breadth of knowledge in the field of education. Any organization would be fortunate to have her as part of the team, and I cannot recommend her highly enough for this position. Please feel free to call with any additional questions."
