Support for the Challenges You’re Navigating

Customized professional learning that strengthens staff and student well-being, growth, and learning throughout your school

Addressing Current Realities

Educational leaders face compounding challenges everyday such as: 

  • Students’ needs increasing.
  • Staff becoming more overwhelmed and overextended.
  • Staff retention issues rising.

Even with significant effort, practices and outcomes can remain inconsistent across classrooms, teams, and schools.

As an educational leader, you may clearly see what needs to change, yet making that change possible is the challenge. 

This is where we come in.

Recognizing What’s Possible

The last thing you need is another initiative added to your plate or more work for your staff. We help you examine what is contributing to current challenges and identify practical ways to strengthen what is already in place.

Our work often helps educational leaders achieve the following:

Greater educator capacity

We help you build support into classrooms so students can access what they need more independently. This reduces how often educators need to intervene and leaves more capacity for teaching and learning.

Strengthened systems and practices

We help you understand what is shaping daily challenges and strengthen existing systems and practices with attention to how support aligns with educators’ roles, student needs, and the context of your school.

Improved retention, school culture, & climate

We help you create sustainable conditions that support staff and student well-being, reduce chronic educator overextension, strengthen school culture and climate, and support educator retention.

How We Can Work Together

We work with educational leaders and leadership teams to understand what is needed, develop a plan together, and adjust the work as needs evolve.

Here’s what our collaborative process looks like:

We meet you where you are.

We begin by learning about your school or district’s goals, current challenges, existing initiatives, and priorities.

We design the support together.

We work together to determine the focus, structure, and level of support that will be most useful for your educators and teams.

We put the plan into practice.

We begin the work in ways that reflect educators’ roles, capacity, and day-to-day realities.

We learn and adapt.

We look at what’s proving useful, where needs are changing, and how the plan should evolve as the work unfolds.

Ways We Can Partner

Depending on your needs, your customized plan may include one or more of the following:

Professional learning designed around the priorities and needs identified through our planning process

Professional learning designed for a particular staff role or team to build shared understanding while supporting role-aligned application

Ongoing opportunities to apply learning, think through challenges, and adapt practices to your setting

Learning options that allow educators and teams to move at their own pace while deepening their understanding of practices that support greater sustainability

The SEI Experience

We strongly recommend this training!

My coaching team of 40 staff agreed without exception that this was the best training they’d ever attended, even those who have 20+ years of early childhood coaching experience.

– Smokie Brawley, Statewide Project Manager, NC Healthy Social Behaviors Initiative

The wealth of experience, knowledge and leadership skills was extremely valuable to me.

The program design, output and results far exceeded other ‘canned’ professional development we had been using from typical vendors.
– Diane Lauer, Ed.D., Assistant Superintendent, St. Vrain School District

It’s literally been one of the best professional development programs I’ve taken in 10 years.

Thank you so much for this wonderful course full of real-world application! I have learned so much!

– Meghan Trowbridge, Assistant Director & Research Assistant Professor, University of South Carolina
