School Canopy

This Canopy program is a collaborative process designed to help school leaders apply lessons from the best schools in the world to their own context. Because it's important for new structures to be customized for each particular environment, the program begins with a series of interviews with teachers, students, and leadership. Findings from these interviews are then presented as part of a report with strengths, areas for growth, and suggested strategies. This portion of the School Canopy is called the "Culture Consult" and is available as a stand alone program. 

The full School Canopy program involves a year long partnership. The program can cover a range of issues but generally revolves around the priorities of creating cultures of continuous improvement through teacher collaboration and student leadership. The aim of the program is to create structures that allow school to be both a more rigorous and more joyful experience for students and teachers alike. 

If you are interested in bringing the School Canopy to your building, or just want to learn more, feel free to reach out to our Executive Director, William Minton at William@CanopyEd.com.

Testimonials

"Connecting with Will Minton allowed for us to get a glimpse into the educational world outside of our walls and around the world. His experiences feed a deep understanding of what makes schools great. He gave insights that helped form new questions about teaching, space, and strategic direction."

"Will's experiences exploring education in various parts of the world were more than enlightening to our faculty and staff and were meaningful in helping faculty members adjust their curriculum and classroom approaches. Since his contact with us, we have been inspired to expand our approach to Global Studies in various ways, including Lower School’s new relationship with Heifer International and, more grandly, combining our World Languages and Social Studies programs into one academic department—Global and Social Studies."
