Empowering Schools Elevating Success

Education for a Changing World

Education in the 21st century presents many challenges, requiring educators to navigate constant change. As educational practices evolve daily, professional developers must stay at the forefront of these shifts. The Educational Leadership and Learning Center (ELLC) was founded to provide teachers and administrators with personalized, ongoing support in this fast-paced profession.

ELLC empowers educators through professional development and data-driven goals. Our team of highly qualified educators coaches teachers and administrators in best practices, addressing the evolving demands of education. Through engaging workshops, participants gain valuable insights and strategies to enhance curriculum and instruction.

With over 30 years of experience in education, our founder and director ensure that ELLC delivers the highest quality professional development. We offer a range of formats, including:

  • On-site classroom visits for coaching and modeling

  • Full- and half-day workshops with comprehensive resources

  • Custom-built district-wide professional development programs

  • Data-driven consulting services tailored to specific needs

At ELLC, we are committed to fostering collaboration, growth, and collegial relationships among educators and administrators. We believe that by sharing ideas, resources, and support, we can create the greatest impact on teaching and learning—ultimately benefiting our students.
