"I cannot overstate the exceptional support I've received from Hal and Hedi at Silver Lining Learning. Their guidance goes beyond traditional coaching, as they have played a crucial role in helping me navigate my responsibilities as a principal. Their provision of data, supportive templates, and their role as thought partners have been instrumental in developing my leadership abilities. With their assistance, I feel empowered to be the best possible advocate for my teachers and students."

Monica R., Principal

"As a first year school principal, Hal and Hedi have been instrumental in my development as an instructional leader. They listen, offer guidance, share feedback, and provide new ideas in helping me take our campus to the next level. I am fortunate to be able to work with them in the coming years on academics, faculty support, and campus development. SLL is for the children!"

April H., Principal

"I would recommend Silver Lining Learning in a heartbeat!! They came at a time that was so much needed to me. They are an awesome team!!! As a new administrator to this school, it has been a huge benefit to pair up with Silver Lining Learning as our consultants. Hal and Hedi are two of the most down-to-earth people, meaning they are always calm and give off the feeling of trustworthiness. They could help us map out a plan of what we really needed. This plan included providing us guidance with school improvement services, school management processes, and leadership coaching. It helps when someone outside can look inside through their data and research lens."

Julie R., Principal

"Hal and Hedi from Silver Learning have been a tremendous help to my staff and me. Their observations, comments and one-on-one meetings have changed the way my staff approach some of their teachings as well as how they look at iReady and use the data. They have been invaluable and are always available to assist at any time during the year, not just when they are here on campus."

Kristine H., Principal

"Working with Silver Lining Learning has been transformative for our school. Hedi and Hal have worked with our administration and teachers in group settings and 1:1 meetings, providing coaching in data-driven instruction. In that time, we have seen significant growth in test scores and student, parent, and teacher buy-in. Students have seen their growth and, through data chats with teachers, developed a better understanding of iReady and how their achievements help them day-to-day in classes."

Meg B., Principal

"Hedi and Hal were amazing thought partners and did a wonderful job facilitating our Strategic Plan development. They were active listeners and integrated varied perspectives into a concise, actionable plan"

Don A., Superintendent

"Our team has felt immensely supported since we first met. Their knowledge of the Archdiocese’s expectations on faith and academics have helped us as new Administrators. They are readily available through email, zoom or phone conference. We are beyond blessed for Silver Lining's expertise."

Sally Z., Assistant Principal

"Working with the Silver Lining Learning team has been a welcomed resource for my teaching faculty. The one-on-one teacher coaching, academic student data analysis, and collaboration with my teachers and leadership team has immediately moved the dial on student performance in math and reading. The teacher feedback on working with SLL is the most positive of any professional development we have engaged in this school year."

Lisa R., Principal

"Collaborating with Hal, Hedi, and Kristin from Silver Lining Learning has been truly transformative. Our educators eagerly anticipate their coaching sessions, finding them invaluable. Streamlining the observation and feedback process to occur within a single day has significantly enhanced its effectiveness. This focus on building our teachers' capabilities has led to remarkable improvements in both reading and math growth and proficiency."

Jennifer F., Principal

"I extend my sincerest appreciation for the services provided by Silver Lining Learning, in guiding our school through a transformative strategic planning process. Hedi Belkaoui and Hal Schwartz exhibited a profound understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities that our school faced. Their commitment to aligning our mission with a strategic vision was evident throughout the entire engagement. The expertise and guidance they provided were instrumental in shaping a roadmap for our school's future success.

SLL’s ability to capture the essence of our school's identity and mission while charting a course for growth and sustainability was truly commendable. It was clear that they approached the process with a genuine commitment to preserving and enhancing our school's distinctive character.

Throughout the strategic planning journey, the consultants fostered a collaborative and inclusive atmosphere. They engaged stakeholders at every level, ensuring that diverse perspectives were considered and valued. This collaborative approach not only enriched the strategic plan but also built a sense of shared ownership among our school community.

I wholeheartedly recommend Silver Lining Learning to any school seeking strategic planning expertise. Their professionalism, dedication, and understanding of the unique needs of Catholic schools make them an invaluable partner in the pursuit of excellence."
