Coaching & Consultation
The coaching and consultation model is intended to be responsive to the emergent needs of participants, and ensure cohesion, effective follow up, and continued momentum in between other touch points throughout the school year. Dr. Haslam will serve as a confidential thought partner, providing tailored support to help process, plan, reflect, review documents and provide feedback, discuss resources, serve as a ‘critical friend,’ facilitate conversations, and help problem solve as needed. Agendas will be co-created; the format is conversational and could be 1:1 or small group. The coaching and consultation model includes support, resources, examples, tools, materials, insights, recommendations, research, models, and ongoing communication, and does not include prepared content, formal training, or follow up work.

Professional Development
Professional Development
Professional development workshops are designed to be interactive, participatory, and grounded in the goals and needs of the school community. Dr. Haslam typically works with school administrators to plan content, which she delivers with supporting materials, resources, and invitations for participant feedback. Seed the Way’s approach involves both a ‘short game’ and ‘long game’, addressing pressing issues at hand with strategies and research-based recommendations, and working longterm to build a strong ‘equity lens’ that allows professionals to more effectively respond to harm and engage in critical conversations together throughout the year.

The process Dr. Haslam facilitated over the course of two years made it possible for all administrators in the district to understand, perhaps for the first time ever, how students from historically marginalized backgrounds experience schooling in our district. The academic rigor Dr. Haslam provided during this process resulted in findings that were nuanced, detailed, and revealed a set of experiences rarely seen by an all white school administration. The findings Dr. Haslam provided were not only revelatory, they were transformative.”
