Is education consulting your next right step? At the Responsive classroom, I’ve started a new section of my business called the EquippED Consultants Collective. You can find us on IG @equipped_consultants_co. The mission of this is simply to help and coach those of you who want to move into being an education consultant to start and grow your own business. I know it can feel daunting to go from education to business ownership, but it’s absolutely doable!

Hey friends! I know this time of year is tough, but I also know that if you are an administrator, you are already looking towards next year. You have to be.

So do you want to know the #1 way to guarantee growth for 2024-2025? Reflect on the current year and make a plan proactively - now.

Reflection Questions to think about:

1. If your campus was running at the level you want it to be, what is happening in the classroom? What are you seeing the students doing? What are you seeing the teachers doing?
2. If your campus was running at the level you want it to be, what would the mornings look like- the very start of the day? How do the students feel about walking in the doors? How do the teachers feel about being there? How do the teachers and students react when they see each other?
3. If your campus was running at the level you want it to be, what is happening in PLCs or during planning time? What types of conversations are being had? What is getting done during these times? What do you see the teachers doing?

Next, use data - both qualitative and quantitative, to determine where your campus is in each of the current areas. This would be a great place to get teacher (and student) input. Here are a few questions to ask yourself:

1. When I look in most classrooms now, I see ___________________________________.
2. In the mornings, students/teachers seem _____________________________________.
3. During PLC meetings, the primary conversations center around ________________________________. The productivity in PLCs is ______________.

Finally, what needs to happen to get from where we are currently to my vision?

PD can be super impactful and really important to the growth of students, BUT research shows us that the average teachers pulls away just 10% of a PD day - 10%! What a waste of time! We want to change that! In this episode, we discuss a checklist for the 3 stakeholders involved that when done well, will create a PD plan that has an meaningful influence on the campus: the service provider, the administration, and the teacher.
