K-12 Professional Development Services
Practical Training for the People Who Keep Schools Moving
Schools depend on more than classroom instruction—they rely on the daily efforts of paraprofessionals, support staff, and central office teams who build strong relationships with students, families, colleagues, and the community to keep students supported and the district running,
At Liggins Abrams Consulting, we provide professional development tailored for these essential staff. Our sessions are practical, inclusive, and grounded in what staff say they need—more clarity, more support, and more confidence in doing their jobs well.
Whether you're building a culture of service, improving internal systems, or equipping staff to support students better, we create space for learning that leads to action.
We’ve worked with district offices to design professional development that’s engaging, accessible, and grounded in the real work staff do every day.
Common Challenges We Help Address
Staff feel disconnected from the district’s mission or school culture
Lack of onboarding or ongoing training creates stress and burnout
Gaps in communication across schools, departments, and leadership
Limited support for conflict resolution or de-escalation skills
Staff feel unheard or unsupported when raising concerns
Lack of structured opportunities to explore topics like diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility
Inconsistent expectations or limited training around service excellence for students, families, and colleagues
What We Offer
Facilitated Professional Development for K–12 Staff
We design and lead interactive trainings that help paraprofessionals, support staff, and central office teams build skills in three core areas, while responding directly to what K–12 teams are facing today:
Culture: Build a shared foundation rooted in your district’s mission and values. We help teams explore what it means to create a culture of service, inclusion, and trust within buildings and across roles. Topics include team alignment, DEIA, workplace belonging, and translating district values into day-to-day practice.
Data: Make feedback meaningful. We support staff in understanding how to use data to improve school climate, customer service, and internal systems. Our approach helps districts close the feedback loop and empower teams to take action.
Operations: Strengthen how your people work together. We offer sessions on effective communication, conflict resolution, supervision, onboarding, and service excellence. Trainings can be adapted by role (e.g., paraprofessionals vs. central office) and experience level.
