Empowering Educators:
The Transformative Impact of Executive Coaching

In the world of independent education, where individual expertise meets collective goals, the power of effective leadership and collaborative teamwork cannot be overstated. This is where group coaching emerges as a game-changer. Tailored specifically for independent educators, executive coaching is not just a professional development tool; it’s a transformative experience that sharpens teaching skills, fosters collaboration, and creates a culture of continuous growth.

Executive coaching offers personalized guidance, helping educators enhance their teaching methods, communication skills, and decision-making abilities. More importantly, it nurtures a collaborative ethos within educational teams. Through specialized coaching sessions, educators learn to appreciate each other's strengths, communicate openly, and collectively navigate challenges. This collaborative spirit isn’t just conducive to a positive work environment; it translates directly into enriched learning experiences for students.

By investing in executive coaching, independent schools invest in their own development and, consequently, the quality of education they provide. It’s not just a tool for professional growth; it’s a pathway toward empowering educators to inspire, innovate, and create lasting impacts in the lives of their students. Embracing executive coaching isn’t just about honing skills; it’s about cultivating a community of educators who are passionate, collaborative, and dedicated to shaping the future—one student at a time.  Join me in this space each month, as I share a column dedicated to the power of leadership development, feedback skills, team effectiveness and performance accountability.

8th Annual Salary Survey for 
Technology Professionals in Schools

Please consider sharing this data collection effort with your IT staff. The salary survey (ie, data collection) is a combined effort between ATLIS and Ed Tech Recruiting, but the resulting Compensation Report is an ATLIS resource that we make available to all who contribute. 

Why does it matter? Because tech teams at independent schools are often among the most diverse. For schools tracking DEI efforts and hiring initiatives, we're seeing that tech teams are often outpacing faculty and other staff departments on the diversity front. We are constantly aiming for robust participation so we can continue to draw conclusions about the most marginalized groups working in independent schools. 

Many thanks in advance from the teams ATLIS and Ed Tech Recruiting.
