US/GlobalLaunch a revolutionary coaching academy for your entire K–12 team
Each of Solution Tree's coaching academies provides a comprehensive series of on-site coaching engagements that will expand your team’s expertise in measurable, lasting ways.
We all want to avoid the cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all approach to professional development. Our coaching academies focus on what your teams need while also offering a "train the trainer" approach, so that teams can take their training to their own buildings. You can be sure that not only are you going to see greater academic success, you’ll also see improved morale and retention.
Since the engagements build on one another, our coaching academies are designed for one team to attend all the sessions together.

Equip leaders to guide implementation and sustain momentum across the district
With this comprehensive series of professional development engagements, you will gain the guidance you need to build a professional learning community that provides life-changing learning to all students.
The six basic assumptions about aligning the work of collaborative teams are:
- Superintendent leadership matters—a lot
- Leaders must connect to the why
- Clarity precedes competence
- Teamwork is aligned within a simultaneous loose and tight culture
- Leaders support teams through reciprocal accountability
- Leaders monitor and celebrate the work of teams
“The impact of this work is evident across our district. Teacher collaboration is valued, and our teams use data to drive instructional decisions and intervention strategies. Working as a professional learning community supports leadership at all levels, but it has particularly provided a pathway for teacher leaders to influence decisions and strengthen student learning. Most importantly, our students are benefiting from more targeted support, increased engagement, and improved achievement as educators continuously seek ways to meet the needs of every learner.”
