School Connect offers a variety of training and coaching to support leadership development, effective team building and performance, community engagement, whole child support, asset-based community development, and specific training to support School Connect CAFEs and Love Our Schools Days. Training is offered to support school districts, as well as leaders and organizations in the community looking to support youth and educators.
The School Connect Team has found that Cohort Coaching is a very effective way of increasing your learning experience as you get to learn and share in a “think tank” environment. Group coaching is available by appointment, but several of our programs include group discussion or interactive learning activities. Examples include school district trainings for Love Our Schools Day, CAFÉ’s, and the Whole Child Approach, and team specific trainings include our Bootcamps or Working Genius for YOUR Team!
We do offer speaking engagements on a case-by-case basis. For inquiries contact info@schoolconnectaz.org.
Some of our trainings are already under contract, while others are available to sponsor. Sponsorship opportunities provide these programs to school districts at no or low cost, and allow sponsors to support programs that align with their mission! For more information contact info@schoolconnectaz.org.
