"The evidence reveals that educators of color aren't leaving kids. They're leaving leaders. ILM Consulting Group exists to change that by training and coaching the leaders who shape the ecosystems where educators, and the students they serve, can thrive."
- Andrea Terrero Gabbadon, Ph.D.
Our Services
ILM Consulting Group provides two lines of service: Instructional Leadership and Management (ILM), our professional learning and coaching, and Affirming Schools, our evidence-based work to retain educators of color, grounded in Dr. Gabbadon's book, Support and Retain Educators of Color: Six Principles for Culturally Affirming Leadership.
Leadership Team Retention-Focused Training
Administrators are one of the single greatest factors in whether educators of color stay or leave — this work starts with your leadership team.
Affinity Group Facilitation
Isolation is expensive — schools lose $12K–$25K every time an educator walks out the door. Affinity groups are one of the single most effective retention strategies available.
Affinity Group Facilitator Training
External programs end if the work isn't built into your systems, it won't outlast the contract.
Additional Services
We work with K-12 schools, districts, institutions of higher education, nonprofits, and for-profit organizations ready to build sharper leaders and stronger systems. Leadership training, executive coaching, and retention-focused support for organizations that serve educators and students.
Let's build something that works for your team.
