Equipping School Leaders and Teachers

Lis Richard has been a champion of charter schools in Colorado for many years.  She has assisted schools with application and founding and has been both principal and education director of a prominent Colorado charter school.  Further, as a superintendent and assistant superintendent of multiple Colorado school districts over the years, she has broadened awareness of and priority for school choice.  She has also served on the board of a BOCES that focuses on expanding school choice.  I have worked with Lis for many years, and deeply appreciate her expertise in designing and founding charter schools and working with authorizers and as an authorizer to position those schools for success.

Lis Richard provides excellent services! She has been to our school for the past 4 years and each time we grow from her knowledge and experience. She has not only helped our school, she has helped me personally. With Lis and her training, she has brought our school to the next level. Lis has changed my life and has provided encouragement and insight into my professional life more than anyone else. I highly recommend Lis and her training for your school. You will never be the same and she will inspire and encourage you and your staff to change the world in education.

I have worked with dozens of superintendents, district leaders, and principals throughout my career and there are none better than Lis Richard. She has a passion for teaching and a heart for students. These qualities shine through in the professional development she provides to teachers and principals. Her mentorship has been invaluable to me and it has made me a better school leader. I only wish that I had met her earlier in my career. 

  Any school leader who desires to grow in the profession and to become a better leader for the students and staff that he or she serves should consider himself/herself lucky to have the opportunity to learn from Lis. I cannot recommend her highly enough. 

I have worked with Lis Richard in several capacities and the experience has helped me grow as a professional. I have learned from her how to create a vision, how to build a school culture, meaningful coaching with staff to improve their instructional practices, understanding a school building’s needs, and other aspects of what it takes to create a successful school. The quality that I appreciate the most is her ability to listen and ask questions to truly understand my needs to grow as a leader. With her experience in the education world, I value her consultation in every aspect of the school building. I have no doubt that working with Lis Richard will make positive impacts in your school building and creating a firm foundation for future success!

For teachers to keep their classes interesting to students, they must be willing to continue the learning process themselves. One of the best ways for my continued growth was when Lis Richard came to our school to evaluate teachers and to provide feedback on how we could change and grow. Mrs. Richard brings years of experience to the table and her workshops gave me ideas that I still use in the classroom. Each time she has come to our school, I have learned how to be a better teacher, and ultimately, my students have benefited!

I consider it an honor to have worked with and been under the leadership of Lis Richard. She is a visionary with a passion to train teachers, leaders, and schools with excellence. Her coaching, teaching, training, and professional development, has given me the tools to become a better teacher and leader for my team.

I so appreciate her heart to do what is best for students. She is passionate about investing in people to develop their strengths and create a growth mindset. Her recommendations and assessments for personal growth and team building can set you up for success. Her friendship and mentorship in goal setting, leadership development, and team dynamics will always be invaluable to me. Your organization will benefit greatly from the opportunity to receive this excellent coaching, mentoring, and training.

“Lis Richard is a true educational professional with tremendous experience both in and out of the classroom. She has advised and trained school administrations and faculty I have led over the last decade and has taken their programs to new heights.”
