We developed our coaching model and began to work with school leaders in NYC public schools in 2007 and continue to work with school leaders in NYC and beyond today.

Experience in Education

Unlike many vendors who provide coaching and professional leadership services to school leaders and their team, STAR Factor has the unique advantage to be built upon and by professionals who have actively worked in schools to develop Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) since the early 90’s. Dr. Patti was an original team member of the Collaborative for Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL) and is well known and published in this field. She has provided numerous hours of professional development to schools and turned around her own school in the early 90’ws implementing comprehensive school wide SEL.

We have built and implemented our work in over 250 schools in urban NYC. We employ a diverse staff of consultants to work with our school leaders.
