Building Leadership Capacity To Transform Schools

One of my favorite sayings is that people who say things can’t get done, get interrupted by people who are doing them. And I’d put Big Rock in that category.

BRES is one of the best PDs I have ever attended, and the work we did together at our school this year allowed our campus culture and systems to improve tremendously. The research-based practices we were taught helped bring the consistency and proactive planning our campus needed to be successful. Our students were more engaged in our classrooms, and learning was constantly occurring on campus. Our BRES coach Sharon Duplantier was amazing and so helpful. Her presence really helped our Admin team, teachers, and staff connect and provided numerous opportunities for us to give great feedback and coaching to our team. We also developed practices and plans for PLCs that allowed us to improve rigor campus wide. I look forward to having BRES working with me and my staff this year, and feel that any campus would benefit partnering with this amazing company.

We all know that monitoring classroom instruction is a move that we all need to make in order for implementation to really happen in our classrooms. However, having your calendars synced with your target and clarity around a process to monitor your targets is sometimes challenging for campus leaders to build and execute. Our coaching from the BRES team has enabled our campus leaders to build, implement and maintain effective classroom monitoring systems around student culture and high-yield instructional strategies. The partnership with the BRES team has been powerful because it has allowed our leaders to “learn by doing”!

Big Rock Educational Services provided our school the game-changing structures and systems necessary to improve scholar engagement over 50% in three months.
