Instructional Leadership
Mentorship and Support
School administrators juggle a variety of roles and responsibilities. From day-to-day operations to advocating for both the students and teachers, instructional leadership often gets pushed to the bottom of the list. However, the role of the instructional leader is one of the most important tasks an administrator holds. Our team at Compass can help. We offer a variety of trainings to support administrators in their instructional leadership tactics, and will encourage them to empower others to work towards the shared goals and aspirations of their school system.
The Compass Approach to Instructional Leadership
Effective Communication
The ability to communicate effectively facilitates trust, collaboration and transparency among your educational community. If you can master this art, you can navigate any complex challenge while building relationships that support a positive school culture. Our team at Compass will provide leaders with practical techniques for active listening, empathetic communication, public speaking and conveying an effective message.
Effective Evaluations
Providing educators with an effective evaluation not only provides valuable feedback, but it gives them valuable information on what they need to do to improve. It is up to the school’s leader to cultivate a culture of continuous improvement, support the development of high-quality teaching practices and ultimately elevate student achievement outcomes. With Compass, we can help get you there.
Develop Collaborative School Environments
Collaboration breeds positivity and inclusion. As school leaders it’s up to you to create a cohesive and collaborative school community. It promotes trust, communication and a shared responsibility for all. Our specialists at Compass can work with you to learn what it takes to foster a collaborative environment.

Managing Mayhem

Our team can help you understand the root causes of behavioral issues and implement evidence-based interventions.
Conflict Resolution
Conflict within a school system is inevitable. But a school leader with the right conflict resolution skills can resolve them in a constructive and proactive way, so that they don’t become a recurring theme. With our help, we can support you as a leader to understand multiple conflict resolution techniques, navigate challenging situations with professionalism and instill a culture of trust and respect within your school community.
