We prepare district- and/or school-based leadership teams to lead trainings for your own staff members. That’s followed by on-site support as you roll them out. Our trainings of trainers are collaborative, interactive, and practice based. We tailor applications of concepts to your unique district and school needs.
We also conduct short-term follow-up coaching for participants in our trainings, to assist with high-fidelity implementation of research-based practices.

More trainings assist participants in developing a range of additional skills and capacities that extend and deepen secondary school improvement.

Site Visits
The Core & More Team also supports schools with site visits in conjunction with our trainings. Site visits provide information about progress towards your implementation goals with an emphasis on continuous program improvement.
