What Happens
A relationship, not a transaction. Typically begins with a single engagement (a PD day, an assembly) and grows over time as trust builds on both sides. No fixed package to buy off the shelf; every Partner School relationship is shaped in conversation.
What's covered
Faculty PD, Ongoing Not a single day. A recurring rhythm of PD built around where your faculty is now and where they're headed. Student Programming, Integrated Assemblies, advisory-period curriculum, and leadership coaching, planned together instead of booked one at a time. Leadership Coaching for Administrators The people leading the building get the same practice they're asking their faculty and students to do. Co-Authorship, Not Vendorship We measure a Partner School relationship the way you do: by what changes in your building over time, not by how many sessions were delivered.
Proof
"Unscripted did what very few programs can... they connected their frameworks and methodology to our school's mission and values. As an educational leader, it can be so hard to find engaging and effective programs that also align with the mission and culture of our school, but Unscripted did just that with ease and seamless incorporation. I would recommend Unscripted to any school looking to invest in culture and the 'soft skills' needed to balance a rapidly evolving world." — Shannon Craige, Director of Curriculum and Innovation, Norwood-Fontbonne Academy

"This workshop engaged every single teacher and staff member immediately. We were able to step outside of proscribed roles at our institution. This will allow us to see each other differently as we work together to support our students, and our community as a whole. Additionally, this workshop provided specific insights and strategies for engaging all of our students in new ways, so they can move beyond their expectations of themselves and each other. Will also was able to offer suggestions for using these tools in all kinds of classrooms, not just theater or English classes. I am using at least one of his activities on my first day of school this year, and am challenging myself to use others regularly throughout this school year. Highly recommend this program!"
- Lisa Amesian, The Baldwin School
