Keeping the Promise of Achievement for All!

Promise Informed Schools, an innovative educational initiative by The Promise Group, is committed to enhancing schools through research-based strategies and systems that foster academic excellence and well-being.

 

Utilizing Appreciative Inquiry, Promise Informed Schools emphasize recognizing strengths, nurturing a positive school culture, and developing solutions that build on existing successes.

 

The PI approach equips educators and leaders to create high-performance environments where every student can thrive by:

 

1.  Enhancing Existing Systems with PI - PI Schools offer custom frameworks that seamlessly integrate with current systems, amplifying the efforts of school leaders, faculty, and staff to achieve high-performance outcomes. By applying PI systems and practices, participating principals can create and sustain conditions that promote enhanced performance and achievement.

 

2.  Building Collaborative Teams of Value-Added Contributors Positioned Through a PI Lens - The program introduces new learning and practices that implement routines based on researched best practices, enabling schools to set and achieve their goals. PI Schools foster collaboration among staff to work as solution-driven teams, enhancing instructional opportunities, using appreciative communication to improve school climate, and prioritizing teacher wellness as a key factor to student success.

 

3.  Consultative Collaboration with Visionary Principals - PI trainers and coaches work with school principals to co-develop plans that set benchmarks and goals aligned with the school's mission and leader's vision. Principals strategically gather faculty and staff into cohesive teams trained in PI systems and practices to collectively work towards meeting set benchmarks and fulfilling the promise of achievement for all.
