Strategic Implementation Strategic School Diagnostics & Data-Driven Audits

Comprehensive, research-aligned audits designed to diagnose, optimize, and strengthen school systems at every level.

This is not a surface-level review. It is a deep systems analysis that identifies leverage points for measurable improvement.

Each engagement includes:

  1. Classroom observations using the latest revised version of the Danielson Framework (updated with research supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and informed by over 10,000 classroom observations)

  2. Instructional practice analysis across domains including planning, classroom environment, instruction, and professional responsibilities

  3. Curriculum review to determine alignment with High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM) standards

  4. Analysis of vertical and horizontal curriculum coherence

  5. Assessment of grading policies and instructional rigor

  6. Student work analysis for cognitive demand and equity of access

  7. Parent–teacher–family engagement review

  8. School culture and climate assessment

  9. Leadership systems evaluation (decision-making, communication, accountability structures)

  10. Professional learning alignment analysis

  11. Data systems review (formative and summative assessment use, progress monitoring structures)

This diagnostic process is the systems-level analysis model used in the Summer Principals Academy at Teachers College, Columbia University — ensuring that findings are aligned to best practices in school leadership and organizational development.

What This Audit Delivers

✔ A detailed written diagnostic report

✔ Clear strengths and growth areas

✔ Priority-aligned recommendations

✔ Strategic sequencing plan for implementation

✔ Executive debrief session with school leadership

Rather than reacting to scattered data points, leaders receive a coherent map of how systems interact — and where optimization will have the greatest impact.

Professional Learning & Implementation Cycles for Teachers and School Staff

High-impact professional learning designed for real classroom transformation — not one-day inspiration that fades.

Each professional learning engagement includes:

Research-based training sessions
Structured coaching cycles
Classroom lab cycles and modeling
Feedback and reflection protocols
• Leadership alignment meetings

We support schools from initial learning to full implementation and mastery — ensuring that professional development translates into measurable student impact. Unlike traditional professional development, Lumina’s approach embeds follow-through into the design.

We combine professional learning sessions with guided coaching cycles and classroom lab cycles so educators move from awareness → skill-building → confident execution.

This model increases:

✔ Teacher efficacy

✔ Instructional consistency

✔ Student engagement

✔ Sustainable implementation
