Consulting and On-Site Professional Development

Members of the IFSEL Team are available to support schools on-site through creative and engaging professional development. We work closely with schools to understand their hopes and needs, co-creating an agenda designed for maximum benefit and impact.

For schools wishing to engage in a comprehensive year-long path of faculty development, consider becoming an IFSEL School.

“The caliber of the content and design was top flight in every possible way. It was rich, varied and substantive and at every turn, you demonstrated a keen understanding of our school culture and how best to meet our needs...I am incredibly impressed with your collective and individual skills. You all work seamlessly together and yet you each have something unique to offer.” 
 —Wendy Reiter, Director of Middle Division Guidance, Life Skills Teacher, Horace Mann School
