Our Impact
“Studer Education has been instrumental in helping us with our two-way communication structures. Trust between our administration and employees was a big priority when we first began. I just finished rounding for the third straight year with every school and employee group. By far, this was the most positive of all. The overall culture in our school district is positive because of rounding. I heard so many comments about us communicating the ‘why’ of the decisions.”
— Mark Martin, Superintendent • Meade County Schools, KY.
“I also must give a big shout-out to our Studer Coach with her work/support of developing our strategic plan! We have done great work, and our data shows it!”
— Dr. Jason Radford, Superintendent • Oldham County Schools, KY.
“We had to become more intentional with the work that we’re doing. And that’s really benefited us in our partnership with Studer Ed because that becomes an accountability partner for us. We get caught up in the day-to-day challenges. That needle moves very quickly. So we also speak a lot about having an accountability partner to ensure that we can remain focused on our work.”
— Rob Clayton, Superintendent • Warren County Public Schools, KY.
“I was first introduced to Studer Education in a large group of school principals with a focus on the processes and importance of effective and impactful communication with the people that work at our schools. As our work with Studer has continued into a second year, I have benefited and grown from the leadership learning that has been provided to me from our Studer Education partnership. Our work with Studer has helped me to become a better leader and our school a better place for adults and students! ”
— Bob Dych, Principal • Apollo High School, KY.
