Principal Coaching
We believe a great coach is integral to thriving in the role of school leader- especially in those first few years. We provide tailored one-on-one coaching for principals within their early years of school leadership to support them in setting and achieving their year-long academic, adult culture and student experience goals. Thrive Education Collective’s Principal Coaching is a 10-12 month partnership that leverages competency based coaching and data driven leadership to build principal skill as people and systems leaders.
Thrive Principal Coaches have all been principal themselves, with a track-record of ABSOLUTE achievement across the key indicators of school health: academic results and a culture of connection and focus for students and adults alike.
Professional Learning Services
At Thrive we believe that impactful professional development is the fastest route to elevating the quality of teaching and learning. And, we know that strategically designed, high impact development requires high levels of capacity and skill, as well as tailoring to your unique context, strengths, and goals.
Despite its potential, organizations often find they are spending significant time and money on developing their staff while getting limited results. We can help. Through our combined decades of experience in designing and delivering high impact professional development, we have codified an approach to professional development scope and sequence design, build, and delivery grounded in research-backed pedagogy and first hand experience on how adults learn best.
Thrive Education Collective’s Professional Learning Services offers a unique approach to professional development support through two distinct options:
Tailored Professional Development Design. Save dozens of hours of leader time by getting your professional development scope and sequence, sessions, and materials designed and ready for your staff to deliver. We’ll get to know your team and your needs through initial conversations. You’ll get advice and recommendations that you can tweak or approve. We’ll build sessions that meet your learning targets, and help you prepare to lead them on site, as well as think about how to follow-through so learning sticks.
Professional Development Design and Delivery Coaching. In this train-the-trainer approach, we build capacity within your organization by training your leader to improve their skill at designing and facilitating professional development while coaching and supporting them in doing the work. Our approach tailors the amount of co-planning, teaching, rehearsing, and feedback to the leader to ensure they build transferable skill while growing with each opportunity.
If you want to add capacity or build capacity to increase the impact of professional development in your organization, get in touch today!
Academic Impact Coaching
We believe that with the right strategy, an aligned team, and structures in place that support disciplined execution, all schools and districts can achieve their academic goals.
We partner with system and school leaders who are ready to lead their teams to breakthrough results in Mathematics and ELA. Thrive Ed Collective’s Academic Impact Coaching Program (AICP) is a 12-14 month partnership that provides a proven and systematic approach to the design and execution of a winning academic strategy.
Best-in-class coaches with a track record of OUTSTANDING results bring deep expertise to their shoulder to shoulder partnership with a strategy leader and key stake-holders in your organization.
“Our work with Thrive this year in strategic planning has helped us to establish a strong vision of excellence that we will employ each year… The partnership has also allowed us to provide differentiated professional development to our math teachers and double the development opportunities we provide for our teachers who are teaching the priority content this year. ”
What our partners say about Academic Impact Coaching
“I appreciate the wrap-around support of the model - from building the strategy to ongoing support/data analysis to on the ground coaching - the model ensures we have clarity of where we are going and where we stand against that vision at all times. There are clear metrics to tell us if we are successful at any given point.”
What our partners say about Principal Coaching
“Through Thrive’s coaching, my organization and systems leadership have gotten stronger. I was able to adapt a monthly map and set mini goals towards my big goals for the year. I am feeling more confident about being a whole school leader.”
“Thrive is committed to equitable outcomes for all students. They create a culture of practice for continuous improvement based on data.”
