Successfully implement LiveSchool with the help of a dedicated LiveSchool coach.
Calling All School Culture Leaders!
LiveSchool is easy to implement. You build a rubric, create teacher accounts with a CSV upload or Clever Sync, and share getting started resources with teachers.
But a successful implementation doesn’t just mean LiveSchool is set up.
It means that your behavior rubric is aligned to your school culture, teachers are bought into this important work, and you’re able to measure culture growth.
Guided Implementation starts with thinking about big questions like:
What do you want your school culture vision to be?
How do you integrate school culture into your behavior rubric?
What goals should you set and for when?
Which reports can help you measure progress?
LiveSchool’s Guided Implementation helps you answer these questions. We also train your teachers, help you interpret data, and work as your support system.
How Guided Implementation Works
1. Meet Your Coach
Our Coaches are former educators with experience helping our customers drive meaningful and measurable culture change.
2. Vision Setting
Site Leaders will consult with your LiveSchool Coach to create a vision, goals, and plan for LiveSchool to drive your School Culture goals.
3. Professional Development
Your Coach will plan and facilitate PD designed to train staff on using LiveSchool and creating buy-in for School Culture change.
4. Data Analysis
We’ll show you how to quantify LiveSchool usage, track school culture change, and set additional goals for your team.
5. Planning for Next Year
Your LiveSchool Coach and Site Leaders will develop student surveys to collect feedback. With the survey data and LiveSchool reports, we’ll work together to plan for next year.
This is just the start of your School Culture journey!
This is where school culture starts! We'll send this survey to your School Culture to jumpstart our planning and goal-setting.
