Texas School Improvement Partnerships
Professional Development, Leadership Coaching, Content Coaching, Climate/Curriculum Audits, and General Academic Consulting
Ed Directions is a mid-sized educational consulting company celebrating over 20 years of service to educators. Since our founding, we have developed several series of professional development initiatives, created computer systems to track and connect data, were granted patents on several educational processes to improve school performance, authored books on curriculum and school turnaround, and created an innovative student-focused approach for designing a successful school year.
Approved Purchasing Partner for these and other Texas School Districts
Our Services Include
An academic review is a snapshot review of a school/district in operation by a set of observers from outside the school – observers who have been trained to collect, organize, and interpret a variety of data streams.
We have developed an approach to curricula reviews that emphasizes the student focus of the Ed Directions approach to student work.
Our main professional development series, The Rhythm of the Learner Year, is our most popular series, especially when supporting a school entering one of our intervention levels. In some cases, districts have needed additional professional development.
Our professional development courses are customized to meet the needs of the specific district or region with which we are working. There is no one-size-fits-all set of professional development sessions that we would use district-to-district or state-to-state.
The Educational Directions team is made up of former principals, superintendents, and school leaders (many from Kentucky) that know what it takes to lead successful schools. Let’s match our seasoned professionals up with your future school leadership, and give them the tools they need to be contributors to an awesome school culture, both for students and staff.
Sessions will prepare participants with strategies to implement changes in culture, climate, work ethic, and data management.
