Consulting

Any of our trainings, materials and resources can be customized for use in your school, district, state, or organization. Organizations that are looking for a process to do comprehensive work around creating equitable school systems should also consider our intensive consulting package, which includes the following:

  1. conducting a comprehensive needs assessment that identifies both strengths and challenges currently evidenced at all levels of the organization, from community and family perceptions to the ideas and actions of leadership,
  2. developing a long term plan that will ensure that current knowledge and information about the effect of equity on the educational system is not only implemented, but is integrated into the daily practices and policies within all levels of the system,
  3. implementing high quality professional development that not only provides leaders, coaches, and practitioners with the knowledge they need to understand the issues of equity in their systems, but equips them with the tools they need to effectively implement changes in their classrooms, buildings, and departments and ensures accountability for the results of those changes, and
  4. ensuring continuous improvement through ongoing evaluation and assessment by strategically collecting data to inform decision making, and by establishing a clear and consistent process for input, communication, and feedback as to the perceived value and effectiveness of services provided.

The CRUE Center has assembled a team of experts in areas including family advocacy, instruction, special education and support services, building and district leadership, professional learning, culturally responsive practices, and systems change that will participate in the needs assessment and long range planning aspects of this project. CRUE has a wide range of experience in conducting both needs assessment and planning activities, and developing and leading professional development experiences at the building, district, and state levels. Materials used in this process have been used nationally, with a variety of audiences, to get at the issues of bringing awareness of equity and diversity issues in to practice via systemic approaches to change.
