You’re Leading Change in a Complex System

You’re balancing:

• Mandated curriculum and pacing
• Varying levels of instructional quality across schools
• The need for deeper student thinking and engagement
• Pressure to improve outcomes—quickly and sustainably

And often, what’s missing isn’t effort—it’s alignment.

It has been an absolute joy working with Ms. Ball as a consultant and thought partner. She came to us in the middle of the school year and jumped right in, ready to support our students and help us grow as educators. From day one, her passion, positivity, and genuine care for both students and teachers was evident. She didn’t just offer strategies but she listened, collaborated, and celebrated every win with us. Her energy is contagious, and her impact on our team has been lasting. I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with her this year.

Mr. Ferguson, Teacher

I'm a brand-new Assistant Principal who has been learning to balance the many responsibilities of managing a staff. I struggled to find the time to effectively coach teachers and help them to internalize content. Ms. Ball has been a godsend! She was able to hit the ground running by quickly diagnosing what my teachers needed and applying structures with a level of precision and consistency that I could not do in my role. Her feedback loop helped us to stay on the same page and change course as needed. If you are looking for someone with a deep passion for children and school improvement to work with your staff, I highly recommend Latasha Ball!

Since partnering with Ms. Ball as our math consultant, 5th grade math instruction has transformed significantly. Lessons have become more engaging, with hands-on activities and real-world problem-solving that capture students' interest. Ms. Ball's guidance has helped our team effectively use data to inform instruction, target student needs, and track progress with greater precision. As a result, both student confidence and achievement in math have noticeably improved. Her expertise and collaborative approach have made a lasting impact on our teaching and learning culture.

My overall experience with Ms. Ball was 5-star worthy because she was not only an instructional consultant in the classroom but she also moved as another teacher in the classroom (in regards to supporting student learning). During our team meetings, she brings in an infectious amount of positivity and she is solution orientated. She has an understanding of teachers and she pushed us with our delivery of instruction and throughout our data dives via formal and informal assessments. After a session with Ms. Ball, she leaves us feeling ready to get back into the classroom and do what we love to do!

Latasha has been a phenomenal resource to my assistant principals. Her professional development is high quality and incredibly transferrable! We are lucky to have her.

Ms.Ball always stayed neutral, helping me to stay focused on my objective of supporting teachers in a strategic way. She focused on ensuring my teachers developed transferrable skills so that they are successful after her time with them ends. Additionally, she modeled for me some ways that I can tighten up the math program without becoming too rigid.
