Consultation and Coaching

Our team believes in building lasting change through collaborative, capacity-building partnerships. Whether through focused consultation or sustained coaching, we help educators solve problems, strengthen systems, and bring evidence-based practices to life within the MTSS framework.

Why It Matters

The evidence is clear: training alone isn’t enough.
Research by Joyce & Showers (2002) showed that ongoing coaching leads to 80–90% implementation of new practices.

And as Fixsen et al. (2008) remind us, “Students cannot benefit from interventions they do not experience.”

That’s why we focus on what works, and what lasts.

What We Do

Our services fall into two interwoven categories:

Consultation

Grounded in implementation science and real-world experience, our consultation focuses on building the internal capacity needed to improve academic, social, emotional, and behavioral outcomes. We offer strategic support to assess current efforts, identify strengths and gaps, and design implementation plans that drive results.

Coaching

We facilitate and nurture growth within teams by helping them solve problems, reflect deeply, and implement more effective solutions. Coaching is often a longer-term relationship designed to build internal capacity, so your system continues to thrive long after our role has ended.

How We Work

We don’t prescribe, we partner.

In consultation, we listen first. We review your implementation and outcome data, explore past efforts, and work alongside you to create a clear, customized theory of change that goes beyond handbooks and graphics.
In coaching, we engage in open-ended questioning, reflection facilitation, and feedback. Whether we’re reviewing action plans, solving problems, or modeling practice coaching systems, we meet your team where they are and guide the journey forward.
