Teachers are more trusting of me and of Fulcrum, and they’re more willing to take risks and try different instructional strategies,” she says. “That leads to more successful classrooms.” - Sarah Thostenson, principal“I was hesitant in the beginning b/c Fulcrum is an outside entity, but they are really good at getting you to identify your strengths and teaching you how to grow other people while you’re distributing leadership.” … “I slept better. It was a true partnership with just enough touchpoints that you feel supported but not overwhelmed.” - Latasha Geverola, CPS Deputy Chief of Network 3 Schools.“Before it was a document created one year and never revisited. Now it’s a living document that the ILT takes back to their grade-level teams. Fulcrum provides the space and support to think through any concern.” - Laurel Salgado, principal, and Michelle Quinton, assistant principal“Having someone who has been a principal to help me organize my year into bite-sized chunks and keep my finger on the pulse of systemic improvement has been priceless.” - Alissa Turner, principalHOW YOU CAN REACH ME If you are interested in learning more, reach out to me directly here on LinkedIn or schedule a call at https://calendly.com/isiah-2/30min
