School Turnaround Coaching - R.E.A.L. Framework

🏫 School Turnaround Coaching

For leaders navigating crisis, burnout, or disengagement—we offer strategy, structure, and support.

💡 When Everything Feels on Fire, You Don’t Need More Initiatives—You Need a New Framework for Focus.

School turnaround isn’t just about raising test scores—it’s about restoring hope, clarity, and purpose. When schools are in crisis, leaders often face:

Staff burnout and initiative fatigue
Student apathy, behavior issues, and chronic absenteeism
Low morale and fractured culture
Pressure to produce fast results with limited capacity

We help you triage what matters most—then build a brain-aligned, community-driven path forward.

🔁 Our Turnaround Approach: Stabilize → Rebuild → Sustain

Our coaching is not a one-size-fits-all program. It’s a responsive process built around your school’s needs, assets, and context.

🚧 Phase 1: Stabilize

Goal: Create psychological safety and systems clarity
What We Focus On:

Schoolwide regulation routines (for students and adults)
Rebuilding adult trust and shared leadership
Addressing the Four Pillars of Harm: attention, connection, sleep, and dopamine
Immediate wins in hallway culture, advisory, and student support

🧱 Phase 2: Rebuild

Goal: Align instruction, motivation, and purpose
What We Focus On:

Embedding the R.E.A.L. Framework into PD, planning, and classrooms
Rolling out MAPS-aligned strategies that re-engage students
Resetting lesson design around cognitive and emotional needs
Creating a schoolwide rhythm of reflection, coaching, and clarity

🌱 Phase 3: Sustain

Goal: Build long-term habits and distributed leadership
What We Focus On:

Implementation walkthroughs + instructional coaching
Data cycles tied to motivation, engagement, and identity—not just compliance
Coaching leaders to scale systems that last beyond the moment
Real-time adjustment with your leadership team, not just after-the-fact reports

🎯 Why This Approach Works

✅ Crisis-Literate: We’ve led schools through trauma, staff turnover, and chronic disengagement.
