Dynamic Leadership
Leadership is indeed an art. And leadership development is one of the most crucial elements of an educational organization’s plan to achieve ongoing, consistent growth.In order to take your school or district to the next level, you must hone and develop your leadership structures, practices, and impact. At EducationHall, we pride ourselves in centering all our leadership development focus on the identification, clarification, pursuit, and accomplishment of your goals. Whether you’re in need of foundational leadership principles, the nuance of contextual leadership challenges, or anything in between, we’ve got you covered.
Some of the many topics within this realm include
Leadership 101
Knowledge, skills, and dispositions of effective leaders
Building a Stronger Team
Site-based leadership teams, district-level cabinets, efficient School Boards, and more
Visioning
Capturing and clarifying a compelling vision of the better future to drive decision-making
Capacity-Building
How do we grow, support, and retain high-quality staff?
Deepening the Pool
For continuous, smooth transitions and succession plans
Instructional Leadership
For educators, maintaining a focus on student-learning is critical
Climate, Culture, and Change
Managing and motivating human beings can be one of our biggest, most impactful challenges
Addressing Performance Concerns
As part of the appraisal/evaluation process or not, handling employee performance can build a stronger environment
Distributed Leadership, Leadership in a PLC, Transformational Leadership, Servant Leadership, etc.
Yeah, we know all the buzzwords and we know you’re all facing a specific, particular hurdle in this moment. We’ll help you keep your focus on a) long-term success and the established vision and b) short-term challenges simultaneously, without getting caught up in some of the muddy fads that aren’t research-based and distract you from your goals.

Workshop or Series of workshops
From 60-minute sessions to a series of 6-hour workshops, we can go as in-depth as you need, offering interactive, collaborative opportunities for learning the skills and strategies to move you and your team forward
In-Person PD
We know the value of face-to-face, human-to-human, eye-to-eye connections during professional learning experiences, don’t we? We missed that so much during the pandemic! We prioritize face-to-face whenever possible, understanding its place at the top of adult-learning theory. Here are some options you might want to consider when putting together your professional learning plans.
Conferences or Retreats
When you want to build teamwork, separate from the grind, and enhance your leadership acumen together, we can plan, build, and deliver a top-shelf, one-day or multi-day experience to meet your needs
Virtual Professional Development
If we gained something from the pandemic, it was our willingness to embrace virtual learning options as viable (and cost-effective) ways to continue to “sharpen our saw” and build our skills. Virtual learning offers flexibility and choice in ways that in-person PD doesn’t always accommodate, so we have asynchronous and synchronous options for all of these options:
Keynotes/Workshops/Series
All the opportunities for small- or large-group PD that we can do in-person can also be provided virtually, using as many interactive tools as possible
Online courses
We are continuously working to update our library of on-demand online courses, and many of these are built to highlight topics and themes as you request them
Webinars
These static, informative sessions provide key information that you can refer back to often, and use as you wish
Looking for a mentor?
Leadership can be a lonely journey; that said, you needn’t travel it alone. Professional mentoring programs have taken off in recent years as leaders (and prospective leaders) have sought strategies for increasing their leadership acumen, their impact, and their professional satisfaction. Want to be a stronger leader? Looking to acquire your first (or next) leadership role? Facing a particular challenge? Interested in having a guide by your side as you hop, duck, and weave through the thorny pathways of leadership? EducationHall’s President/CEO Pete Hall has your back.
