“Teamworks applies conceptual frameworks to the work that school administrators and boards do. They have helped board members to understand their role and provide a system to define administrative work from governance. Our board members use this language to self-correct when they wander out of their defined roles.”

“We worked with TeamWorks to study our changing school district demographics and to facilitate attendance boundary changes. TeamWorks spent time with us to understand our school district and the communities we serve, completed a comprehensive demographics study, and facilitated committees of interested parties to develop multiple attendance boundary scenarios. Their process provided excellent community engagement and communication, resulting in a plan that met our goals and provided minimal disruption. As we implemented the changes, TeamWorks provided the analytical tools we needed for success.”

“One of the best things about TeamWorks is the depth and breadth of their expertise. Their direct experience in various leadership roles provides a practical, real life leadership partnership experience because they have the lived experience as school district leaders themselves. Their ability to support us through any challenge using their proven systems tools keeps us prepared and a step ahead of the leadership challenges that come our way!”

“Dennis and his team have worked with our board and administrative team to design professional development that is specific to our needs as a district. After working with TeamWorks, we have a shared understanding of the roles that the school board and the administrative team play in ensuring excellent learner outcomes.”

“TeamWorks consultants partner with clients, working with them to understand their needs and hopes to effectively design an approach that works specifically for each client. TeamWorks provides a set of tools and Frameworks that are flexible to changing circumstances and can be scaled throughout an organization. It is an approach that can transform how a leader leads, how a follower experiences that leadership, and how everyone in the organization can partner to meet their individual and collective desires. Bottom line: it works!”

“One of the best things about TeamWorks is their diverse repertoire of knowledge and skills. It is a huge timesaver when I call and ask for help with a particular topic and they know exactly what resource I need and how to deliver the professional learning. I also enjoy the partnership. They truly partner with districts---they do not operate in a silo but rather a part of our team and this accelerates professional learning.”

“TeamWorks doesn't simply come in and apply a standard process; they get to know the people they are working with and the complexities surrounding the task at hand, while working to design a process that meets the unique needs of the district.”

“The process is not one-size-fits-all, and does not expire in a few years. We left with an operational plan that fits our district and is reviewed and renewed annually!”

“TeamWorks’ follow-up coaching and guidance are second to none. They are diligent about checking in to see that the strategic roadmap and the systems that support the roadmap are working. This is the first plan that has engaged our school board in governance and provided them the tools to lead from a governance lens.”

"We have engaged with TeamWorks on a number of projects over the past several years. In each case, the processes and products exceeded our expectations. Ray Queener has been an outstanding partner in all of our work. His experience, expertise, flexibility and care for his clients is unmatched in my experience."

“TeamWorks’ highly engaging, interactive professional development sessions are crafted to maximize results, include all perspectives and end with consensus and a shared understanding. They will put you on the path to becoming a high functioning board.”

“After working with TeamWorks, our district is in a better position to implement its strategic long-range facilities master plan, which will systematically set the stage to regain market share and right-size our district for years to come.”
