The power of Thought Design for leaders in schools has been the most impactful learning I have gained in over ten years. The coaching sessions allow leaders to have specific individual training to help ensure teachers are receiving good coaching from their administrators.

Thought Design has empowered our leadership team. We’ve learned how to ask questions so teachers can better reflect and own their feelings and ideas. We are making progress towards a more positive school culture!
– Eric
Training sessions allow quality time away from the typical demands of the day to reflect and produce an actionable plan of implementation. It doesn’t stop at planning, Thought Design coaches spend one-on-one time in meaningful reflection that provides critical feedback so that leadership is improved. Students, families, and staff benefit from leadership development that is unique to each leader’s unique personality and traits.

Our Thought Design PD with our teachers was instrumental in helping our teachers develop psychologically safe classrooms!
