Our Solutions
We at PartnerED come from backgrounds as diverse as the needs of your organization or district. With services that are adaptable, comprehensive, and personalized, we provide solutions for leaders at every level.
Executive Support
PartnerED provides a unique planning process for districts and their communities by providing customized services to fill the gaps in their current school system, thus improving effectiveness and efficiencies in all areas.
Leadership Development
To create a learning organization that celebrates the interests and unique potential for all students, leaders must be intentional about designing systems to support all students. We partner with educational leaders at all levels to assess whether they have the skills they need to be effective by providing a foundation of evidence-based, practical tools and processes to enhance future success.
Executive Coaching
PartnerED understands the distinct challenges you face every day because our team is made up of individuals like you: experienced school board members, educators, and superintendents. Our personalized, evidence-based approach to executive coaching will help your leaders break through limitations, identify new opportunities, and work collaboratively to create a better future for your district and community.
Cohort Leadership Facilitation
The operational health of a school district is often overlooked and undervalued, yet we know it is critical to the success of any organization, including schools. PartnerED offers operational analysis and support, including examining workflow process and financial system. We support districts of all sizes individually, or in small groups, by providing customized services to fill the gaps in our current school system, improving effectiveness and efficiency in all areas.
School Board Support
School Board Professional Learning Services
We believe school boars have both the privilege and the responsibility to ensure that each student in their care receives an exceptional educational experience. Creating and sustaining a high-performing, highly effective school board which centers around student achievement does not happen over night, nor by accident. PartnerED works alongside school board teams to help them develop and sustain the best practices in school board governance which research has shown to have a positive correlation with student achievement.
Conflict Resolution Mediation
From the classroom to the boardroom, mediation can be a powerful process for resolving disagreements where an objective, third-party facilitates a dialogue between the parties for the purpose of reaching a mutually agreed upon solution. With over 30 hours of civil meditation training, PartnerED mediators have the experience and the compassion to lead your organization through any situation. This confidential process helps to foster connectedness and supports individuals to engage in difficult discussions that promote deep listening and empathy.
School Board Leadership & Learning Academy
The School Board Leadership and Learning Academy is specifically and uniquely designed for school board members in their first term of service. Facilitated by experienced school board members, participants will take a deeper dive into both the technical and adaptive aspects of their role and responsibilities, including governance, budget, and policy, as well as navigating their public role and being part of an effective school board team. This cohort model provides a safe, supportive learning environment for members to build a community with peers from other districts while gaining new perspectives and deepening their understanding of their new role.
Learning Support
Behavioral/SEL Support
A thriving school community is anchored in emotional well-being, prosocial behaviors, and a reliable system of interventions and supports. Developing and implementing an MTSS Framework that supports behavior and social/emotional learning is an important step to ensuring success for all students. PartnerED provides a coaching experience that allows schools to re-imagine and rebuild its unique school culture based on strengths, challenges, and needs.
Teacher Induction Program & Support
Teacher recruitment, support, and retention have been on the minds of local educational leaders for years and its importance has been heightened due to higher levels of staff turnover and shortages. PartnerED will work with you to create an induction program that is an appropriate fit for your district and is sustainable for years to come.
Culturally Responsive Practices
Building Bridges to Belonging is a professional learning series that provides research-based frameworks, best-practice culturally-responsive practices, and differentiated strategies to support schools, businesses, teams, and organizations to create a culture of belonging where each individual feels valued, known, and understood. We are committed to providing a learning environment that leads with humility and compassion, and allows every learner room for growth and discovery without judgment, shame, or blame.
College & Career Ready Programming
Where are you on your journey? Recognizing that each district is unique, we work with you to customize a college and career readiness program that suits your school and community. Our process includes an audit and education, design, and implementation support. We are passionate about providing you with personalized and innovative tools that will guide your students to a successful post secondary path.
Teaching and Learning Systems
Working in the area of Teaching and Learning in a school system has evolved over the last few years. It is crucial for leaders in Teaching and Learning to have a network of people to discuss the unique challenges in a safe and confidential setting. PartnerED offers a Teaching and Learning cohort experience that provides individuals with similar responsibilities to access opportunities for support, networking, and skill-building for creating effective learning systems.
Operational Support
Strategic Planning
A strategic plan is a critical component of successful school districts. It acts as a roadmap, letting the community know that what the district wants to achieve in the future, and how it plans to get there. Our team has created a unique process that encourages community involvement and shines a light on the importance of student input. We emphasize planning for future-forward and learning experiences.
Human Centered Design
PartnerED facilitators utilize Human-Centered Design (HCD), a uniquely inclusive mindset, approach, and process to solve complex problems, identify opportunities for innovation, and integrate meaningful practices at the building and district levels. Trained through Stanford University's Hasso Plattner Institute of Design, we offer a tailored approach to integrating HCD practices alongside systems thinking and strategic planning.
Financial & Operations Services
The operational health of a school district is often overlooked and undervalued, yet we know it is critical to the success of any organization, including schools. PartnerED offers operational analysis and support, including examining workflow process and financial system. We support districts of all sizes individually, or in small groups, by providing customized services to fill the gaps in our current school system, improving effectiveness and efficiency in all areas.
Comprehensive System Review
The Comprehensive Systems Review is focused, thorough, and customized identification of the unique needs of the district. It helps the school district identify both its learning and operations needs by gathering and analyzing data. The process then helps the school and its community find mutually acceptable and affordable solutions.
