"Tom has been an exceptional asset to Beech Street Elementary, bringing deep expertise, strategic insight, and unwavering commitment to every aspect of our school’s growth.

“We had Tom come in for a day-long workshop aligned to our needs for professional development. This was the first professional development workshop that received overwhelmingly positive feedback. Our teachers felt seen, validated, and many were inspired to implement learning targets and high-leverage instructional strategies in their classrooms the following week. Tom was well prepared and personalized the workshop for our faculty, making it an effective and engaging day. We also had him in for individual PLC coaching, and again, teachers had only positive feedback and implemented some of the strategies the following day.”

"If you're looking for an educational consultant who will get the job done, consider Tom Ledue. I worked with Tom Ledue in a previous school district as well as here in Freedom. Tom assisted our school district in building a rock-solid, sustainable leadership and data team, as well as effective professional learning communities. After just one year of utilizing Tom Ledue to build capacity within the school district, the culture of the building and test scores improved. I continue to work with Tom to build capacity around learning targets, leadership, data, and mindset. Tom Ledue helped my school raise the bar."

"From the outset, your humble, respectful, and results-driven manner demonstrated to all that the new process would be a welcome change to our original approach. Participants saw you as trustworthy and respectful; the proceedings allowed for the free exchange of ideas and, as I shared with the group, some of the most meaningful educational conversations that I’d ever had with several of the participants. It was through the honest and direct observations and exchange of ideas that resulted in our group’s setting of important goals for improved student outcomes.
Throughout the process, you were diligent in meeting the timelines and the demands of the group, which usually required a good deal of synthesis of data and shifting session plans as we moved forward. Your commitment to out-of-session, “backroom” work cleared the path for very productive and meaningful sessions. To say that all participants were heard, that we remained on schedule during the process, that we reached a positive outcome with a clear direction for the future spoke to your skills and allegiance to the group."

"Tom has the unique ability to connect with whole school communities; his interactions with students and staff promote an organic growth mindset in all and have greatly helped the entire school feel like we are heading in a positive direction together.
Tom’s work with our school has promoted impressive growth. He is able to strike a balance between challenging and supporting pedagogical improvement with individuals as well as the community as a whole.
Tom has been able to provide us high leverage practices and ideas in a way that can fit seamlessly into the school’s and district’s goals/initiatives. He is a careful observer of processes and practices, and he is able to tap into his deep educational experiences to customize supports for our school.
As a long time educator, but fairly new administrator, Tom has helped me improve my personal practice in many ways. He is both supportive with ideas and with constructive criticism that has helped me become a better principal. He cares deeply about the success of schools and the individuals within."

"Tom was my partner on the diagnostic assessments of four New Hampshire schools. Tom demonstrated that he was an expert in understanding how alternative schools and small schools function. He always knew what questions to ask of the many stakeholders we worked with, and he was consistently able to glean important insights that were helpful for the schools."

"Tom, the skillful navigator and guide that he is, always helped to keep us focused on our mission and the needs of our students. An excellent example of this is exemplified in one of Tom‘s favorite mantras – “What about the students?“ He was always there to advocate for students and to keep us focused on what teaching and learning is about: creating quality educational experiences for all pupils. He faithfully reminded us to bring important issues back to the students to make sure that we involved them in decisions that will impact their lives."

"Tom has worked with the Pittsburg teachers during the last three school years. He has been instrumental in helping our first-year teachers gain confidence in the classroom and add to their teacher toolboxes for their work with students. I have worked with Tom through monthly meetings and while he is in the building. He has helped me work through challenges that I have encountered and is a great cheerleader when things go smoothly. I look forward to my continued work with Tom."

"I can recall numerous situations where Tom’s approach created excitement around an issue and unleashed multiple initiatives. Tom clearly demonstrates the value in creating a collective vision where this magical alchemy of great performance occurs within school culture. Tom inspires faculty to look beyond self-interest and foster a sense of involvement and professional kinship.”
~ Claudia Stephens

"During my first year, Tom began mentoring teachers at Pittsburg School, an experience that was invaluable to me and continues to inform my teaching practices. Not only did Tom introduce me to new learning protocols, classroom management, and approaches to lesson planning, he encouraged me to evaluate my use of them and make adjustments to suit students' needs. In time, Tom encouraged me to start creating my own tools, lessons, assessments, and units of study for my students. Over the three years I worked with Tom, he coached me through the challenges new teachers face with kindness and compassion, empowering me to keep growing."

“All of our teachers improved their craft with Tom's help. He educated them on instructional techniques, helped them set and execute their goals for teaching, and led community-building workshops for our school staff. Tom brings a lot of teaching and leadership experience to his work and he is an open, honest person who is easy to work with.”

"I have worked directly with Tom Ledue over the past three and a half years on a variety of school improvement initiatives, including our designation as a school in need of improvement and, most notably, the development of a new two-year Strategic Plan. Tom brings a deep knowledge and understanding of organizational leadership and the complexities of school improvement. His professionalism and expertise have been instrumental in helping us achieve our goals, and my entire staff has greatly appreciated his support and guidance throughout this process. We look forward to another summer working with him to expand upon our Strategic Plan."
