Drawing upon a network of expert practicioners, ConnectEd Learning Community consulting services exist to further our mission to be a supportive place for educators to grow as individuals, as organizations, and as a community of professionals – with the ultimate goal of helping students to thrive.
Whether you need an on-site consultant, an extra set of remote hands on a project, or a customized solution for your needs, we can help. Our intake team will respond to your inquiry, listen to your needs, and craft a proposal to review and revise together.
How can we support your work?
Here are a few examples of how we can help:
As a school district executive leader, I need to achieve a goal established by the Board of Trustees.
Consultation could include: establishing metrics, working across departments to build action plans and ensure ownership, building timelines and reporting responsibility.
As a departmental executive leader, I need temporary support for an open position or mentoring for a newly hired leader.
Consulting could include: temporary support for open positions such as core content leader or instructional technology leadership (remote or onsite), mentoring of newly hired leaders in central office role.
As a district thought leader, I need support as I lead my school community’s efforts to leverage and navigate generative AI technology.
Consulting could include: working with campus leaders, teachers, central office leaders, community members and/or Trustees as they develop knowledge of the new technology and prepare students for the futures which will include AI literacy.
As a campus leader, I need support with strategic planning and/or professional learning within my campus.
Consulting could include: alignment of campus instructional practices, strengthening lesson planning, campus leadership team collaboration and visioning.
As a central office leader, I need support for a specific initiative/event or temporary support for an open position.
Consulting could include: crafting new teacher mentoring programs, revising report card/assessment practices, updating gifted and talented programming/identification resources, planning for district-wide professional learning events, aligning MTSS/RTI practices across the district, supporting hybrid/virtual education planning, preparing for a comprehensive launch of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), support for roles that are either vacant or not budgeted (i.e. dyslexia leadership, curriculum writer, instructional technology leadership, core content leader, etc…).
As a curriculum department staff member, I am working on a particular practice.
Consulting could include: bolstering an early literacy practice/program, developing curriculum resources (including corresponding professional development) for teachers, implementing blended learning models across content areas and supporting the accompanying necessary professional learning for implementation, writing curriculum for a newly offered course or updated state/national standards.
As a vendor who sells to educators, I need to better understand the education context.
