S3 E12 - What to Expect When Working with a Consultant

The Structured Literacy Podcast

Could flashy credentials be leading us astray in educational consulting? Unpack these misconceptions with us as we reveal what truly makes a consultant invaluable to our schools. We're not peddling our services here – our calendar is chock-full – but we are eager to share the scoop on effective collaborations with external experts. This episode cuts through the glitz of experience-based prestige to spotlight the substance of evidence-informed practices. We'll also question the ethics behind consultancy fees that don't align with guaranteed outcomes, advocating for a partnership that fosters transformation in our schools, not just a transaction that leaves everyone unfulfilled.
In the trenches of educational transformation, selecting the right consultant becomes mission-critical. We'll guide you through a masterclass on due diligence, from aligning with your vision to verifying track records and challenging the status quo. You'll learn to distinguish genuine expertise from overpromises and take a data-driven approach to foster enduring school development. It's a conversation about commitment, hard work, and the strategic planning that underpins a successful collaboration with educational professionals. Gear up for a candid exploration that empowers you to forge partnerships that transform – because when it comes to lasting change in our schools, the right guide can make all the difference.
