LCI provides services to support the work of school leaders, providing them with focused consultations, resources, data and processes. LCI leadership services help deepen leadership skills, increase efficiency and address the varied challenges that go hand in hand with being an educational leader.

Here is a sample of the kinds of services LCI offers to leaders:

Assessment Audit: As districts move to common formative or benchmark assessments, documenting the quality of the assessments can be overlooked due to time restraints or lack of in-house expertise. Using established NCTE standards for quality assessment and test design, LCI can provide schools with a complete and detailed review of their assessment system. This includes reviewing the physical tests themselves for issues around reliability, analyzing student data for validity and documenting connections or gaps between the tests and the curriculum.

Professional Learning Audit: LCI supports schools and districts that have a commitment to enhancing their staff’s knowledge and skills by helping them develop a coherent and integrated professional learning agenda. Depending on the scope and depth of the school’s offerings, the LCI professional learning audit includes one or more of the following activities:

• Development of histograph, or visual map, of professional development initiatives and activities to date
• Assessment of professional learning needs and identification of priorities
• Integration of professional learning needs with initiatives and work underway
• Identification of best entry points and bridges for the alignment of staff’s current and desired knowledge, skills and dispositions.
• Design of blueprint for new offerings so that they can be aligned with existing priorities and work.
