Dr. Lori M. Phillips
Author · Speaker · Educational Consultant
Practical support for stronger schools, stronger educators, and stronger communities.
Dr. Phillips spent 28+ years in schools — as a teacher, a principal, and a leader of leaders — before taking her work to schools and districts across the country. Whether the need is culture, classroom practice, family engagement, or supporting the educators and principals doing the work every day, her approach is the same: practical, honest, and built to last.
Core consulting areas
Consulting & Professional Learning
School Culture & Climate
Culture shows up in the hallway, the car line, and the staff meeting — and social-emotional learning is woven through all of it. I help schools make SEL part of daily practice, not another binder: adults modeling it, discipline that teaches instead of punishes, and a climate where students and staff feel they belong.
Classroom Management & Teacher Support
Real-classroom strategies — routines, engagement, de-escalation, behavior support — that help teachers run their rooms with confidence instead of exhaustion.
Family & Community Engagement
Families want to be part of the work. I help schools build communication and partnerships grounded in trust — not just flyers and folders.
Community Schools
From partnerships to wraparound supports, I help schools become the hub their neighborhood needs — connecting students and families to resources that actually reach them.
New & Novice Teacher Mentoring
Ongoing coaching and practical support that strengthens classroom confidence, management, resilience, and retention. The first years are hard — no one should walk them alone.
New Principal Mentoring
Ongoing coaching for new and aspiring principals navigating culture, people, decision-making, communication, and the realities of leading a school.
Educator Renewal & Burnout Prevention
You can't pour from an empty cup. I help educators and leaders find sustainable rhythms — reflection, support, and strategies to keep doing this work for the long run.
Custom School & District Support
Every school is different — including specialized needs like school marketing and storytelling. Tell me where your team is, and we'll design the professional learning, coaching, or planning around what you actually need.
