Is dedicated to building a brighter and more successful future for the students, educators and leaders across our nation and beyond. Our mission as an education consulting company is to work with schools and school divisions to provide services that broaden the knowledge and skills of teachers, support schools and equip leaders with the tools necessary to improve student achievement.
OUR CORE AREAS OF SUPPORT
HAIRSTON EDUCATION believes high-quality teaching is vital to student success and student success can only happen when learning is optimal. Therefore, we work with educators and school leaders to embed hands-on research-based professional development that upgrades the content knowledge and pedagogical skills of teachers and leaders.
We recognize the most effective professional development engages teams of educators and leaders, focusing on the needs of their students. They learn and solve problems together to ensure ALL students meet with SUCCESS. Our goal is to provide a variety of services that support a 360-degree approach to learning and teaching, building learning environments that positively impact the lives of students, staff, parents, and school leadership.
Our services can be customized to meet the specific needs of each school division and will provide learners with the support needed to meet with continued success.

CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
THE CURRICULUM INSTITUTE
"Beginning with the end in mind!"
THE CURRICULUM INSTITUTE, beginning with a Summer Institute, is designed to immerse educators in the foundations of effective instructional practices, reviewing closely the curriculum they teach and the content the students are expected to learn.
Our mission is to build teacher capacity in order to create learning environments that raise the bar of expectations for ALL students through the incorporation of rigor, relevance and relationships, incorporating real-world activities designed to meet the individual needs of students.
Teachers learn about the importance of student engagement and are immersed in hands-on activities that model active participation and engagement. By the end of the Summer Institute, teachers leave with a broader knowledge of curriculum, instruction, assessment and alignment and how to effectively and intentionally design and implement a balanced curriculum and build engaging lessons.
In addition to the four-day Summer Institute, school districts have the option to provide teachers with year-long professional development, attending monthly workshops throughout the school year that focus on specific topics designed to strengthen their understanding and knowledge of effective instructional strategies, practices, and methods.
Teachers receive recertification points for their participation and end the school year with a deeper knowledge and understanding of how all the essential curriculum pieces fit together to ensure improved student achievement for every student.

STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR
TRANSFORMATIVE CHANGE
- Think GLOBALLY- Plan STRATEGICALLY- Implement INTENTIONALLY -
HAIRSTON EDUCATION provides high-quality training that supports and enhances school districts to achieve excellence at all levels. We provide support in strategic planning that guides school districts in making decisions that bring about transformative change over time, looking closely at the allocation of resources, the creation of goals and the actions that support the achievement of those goals.
As we work to equip each school district for the future they have yet to see, we focus their attention on the outcomes of these three questions:
In order to answer those three questions, we ask them to further expand on these three questions:
We believe that "beginning with the end in mind" promotes strategic thinking, conscientious conversations and dream development. We believe those conversations lead to transformation. It is recognizing the desired outcomes that allow us to work backwards toward success. Once the school district determines where it wants to be, we then work backwards to establish an intentional, concrete and specific plan that outlines the vision, beliefs, core vales, steps, resources, and personnel required to get there.

As we work to equip each school district for the future they have yet to see, we focus their attention on the outcomes of these three questions:
- Who are we as a school district and what do we believe?
- What sets us apart from other school districts?
- How will we achieve long-term success?
In order to answer those three questions, we ask them to further expand on these three questions:
- Where are we now?
- Where did we begin?
- We do we want to be in 5 years? in 10 years? in 25 years from now?
