The Compass Approach to Instructional Leadership
Effective Communication
Effective communication facilitates trust, collaboration, and transparency in 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, you are responsible for creating a cohesive and collaborative school community. Collaboration promotes trust, communication, and shared responsibility for all. Our specialists at Compass can help you learn what it takes to foster a collaborative environment.
Instructional Leadership Growth
With Compass, we’ll work with you directly to help you gain the knowledge, skills, and mindset necessary to lead and support your school community. We can mentor you directly within your school’s environment and can support anyone from new principals to veteran administrators.
Managing Mayhem
Addressing and managing student behavior is critical when creating a safe and supportive learning environment in your school community. School leaders must have the skills necessary to address a wide range of student behaviors in a way that’s both proactive and constructive. 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.
