Our trainings and supports are designed with people in mind: we strive to actively engage, stimulate and inspire your staff. Our focus on people- and how they are impacted- drives our needs assessments and conversations, data collection and solutions development process.

what our partners are saying
Our board was so pleased and excited to have you speak to them and they all told me how valuable it was. I cannot thank you enough. You kept them engaged for nearly three hours and you enlightened them and also helped reinforce information that they have heard before but this time from the “expert”! Your style, your humor and your presentation were all extraordinary. Please accept our heartfelt thanks and gratitude.
Dr. Phil G. - SLA Charter SchoolIf you need expert advice on leadership, professional development, accountability, and the use of academic research and relevant data – look no further than to Dr. Laczko-Kerr. I have read her work, watched her grow in her many past roles and recently worked with her on a national advisory committee. I have seen first hand the strength of her ability to train and lead.
Dr. David P. Driscoll - Former Commissioner of Education, MassachusettsThe Lotus team has made a substantial impact on the success of our organization/school. They taught us the value of using data in every aspect of our organization to find the root cause of the issue and helped us develop a plan to solve it. As a result, we have turned around our school both academically and organizationally. Their insight has been invaluable and we consider them a member of our team!
