OUR SERVICES
-
Principal Performance and Appraisal
Principals have the right to an honest, independent and transparent performance review. For boards, showing a duty of care and an interest in professional growth is good employer practice. However, prescription without diagnosis is malpractice. With Epitome, we use powerful assessments and tools to diagnose the issues and then agree with the prescription and coach for them. Principal appraisals vary from a tick-box exercise to being based only on meeting goals that may be outside the principal's circle of control (the teachers do it?). With appraisal target areas that focus on leadership development in areas like communication, emotional intelligence, or team leadership—knowing that the strategic outcomes will follow—is the logical process.

Cultural Transformation
The 5CCA (5 Cultures of Culture Assessment) is one of the most unique and popular Culture Assessments in the market today because it is based on research and proven cultural constructs and models that have been researched and uncovered in major global organizations. The 5CCA generates a powerful and revealing 52-page report detailing the strengths and gaps in your culture.
In addition to our team administering and deploying the 5CCA to your employees, we generate robust and granular 5CCA Reports by time served, level and overall. We offer multiple ways of working with you and your senior leadership team to debrief your 5CCA results, which include conducting half-day virtual debriefs as well as onsite half and full day debriefs. In our experience, the 5CCA debrief helps to build the prescription “architecture” for how to best leverage your cultural strengths while addressing your cultural gaps
Learn the methods used by top school and corporate leaders around the world to understand yourself as a leader, your effect on others, and how you can lead—with less stress—to achieve results.
Epitome Education's leadership development diagnostics, analysis, and coaching will elevate your leadership, bringing greater awareness of your knowledge, skills, and attribute strengths to increase your confidence, clarity, and energy to be a purposeful leader that inspires others.
