The Change Your Educators and Students Deserve

“I never felt judged for a mistake I made in the classroom. In this group, I always felt safe to say I messed up today and this is somewhere I could say that. Instead of thinking, ‘Wow, you’re horrible,’ we would ask, ‘Ok, what can we do?’ That energy was really helpful.”

“I really enjoyed looking at data and going directly to the students. I constantly ask for student opinions, feedback, and hold student focus groups to gather data. We have redesigned our interview/enrollment process based on their families’ experiences.”

“I remember the day the adults were thinking we would focus on conferencing, and a student said, ‘No, we should do something about how students are graded.’ He checked us. The conferencing protocol we do and the way kids get to advocate for their grade grew out of that conversation.”

The Eskolta Way

Transformation takes strategy and soul, coordination and courage. Whether it’s co-designed school improvement or K-12 education consulting, our work is always:

Collaborative

We work alongside learning communities, facilitating trust and co-leadership.

Holistic

We explore challenges from every angle, listening and looking where others won’t.

Empathetic

We connect with how learning communities feel, not just what they face.

Practical

We build from what educators already do well, keeping their time and capacity in mind.
