Many school district personnel are feeling discouraged by the pressures of the accountability movement. LifeTrek Coaching International uses appreciative Inquiry, a strength-based approach to transformational change, and personal coaching to turn around that discouragement at the speed of imagination. We know how to make schools fun.

The Appreciative Inquiry process involves as many stakeholders as possible in an engaging and enjoyable process of planning for, conducting, and following through on the outcomes of a district-wide, three-day Summit. To see the outline of a typical process, visit www.CelebrateSchools.com and click on the link for the slides from the recent Fostoria Schools Summit in Fostoria, Ohio. There you can also read an article on how and why the process works.

Before, during, and after the Summit, LifeTrek Coaching International offers professional development and personalized coaching to key district leaders, including School Board members, central office administrators, building administrators, and teacher leaders. Through dynamic group workshops and individual coaching conversations, LifeTrek builds the collective efficacy and success of schools.

Based, in part, on the work of LifeTrek's Vice-President and Co-Founder, Dr. Megan Tschannen-Moran, a member of the faculty in Educational Policy, Planning and Leadership in the School of Education at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, and author of Trust Matters: Leadership for Successful Schools (2004), LifeTrek has put together a program that generates measurable improvements in school culture, working relationships, and student success.
