Ready to Elevate Your School Success?
Is your campus experiencing success with student outcomes at the rate you desire? Maybe you have an exceptional staff who are doing all the right things, but your results are still not fully reflected in their efforts. You are not alone. This is a common challenge that school leaders face as they strive for excellence. The solution you seek may lie in tweaking the systems and processes that you and your staff engage in daily. Our Elevating Success Initiative focuses on systems that use common language and the highest-leverage school practices to support strategic improvement and growth.

Student Learning Objectives (SLO) Review & Update - February 8, 2022
This training will prepare administrators to guide the implementation of the SLO (Student Learning Objective) process in their districts. SLOs are long-term goals for student learning crafted by teachers and administrators. Often working in teams with a peer, school, and district support, teachers develop these goals to help define what success looks like for their students and plan backward in order to ensure that instruction is purposefully guiding schools, teachers, and students toward a common vision of success. The focus of this training will be reviewing SLO procedures and the newly released recommendations.
