Rarely do you find an individual with the demonstrated commitment, vision, and foresight portrayed by Dr. Richardson. Her independent analysis of our school, both from an historical perspective to recommendations surrounding a reinvigorated educational foundation was long overdue. This was accomplished through her methodical evaluation involving vigorous staff participation that, if implemented, will lead to a rebranded and academically sound educational environment that will overwhelmingly benefit our student population well into the future.

I enjoyed the research component - although she never stopped talking about "data" - NOW I GET IT!
Dr. Richardson's used our PowerSchool data and the surveys from the parents, students, and staff to design our improvement plan.
I was impressed by the intentionality; it was not a one-size fit all method that you get from other trainings or consultants. The data came from us and her plan was constructed specifically for us.
This made it a lot easier to implement and more buy-in from staff, students, and families
This is the first time I've felt that we're were all working together as a team.
