Schoolmakers puts their expertise at the service of education and wants to strengthen you as a teacher, board of directors, school board or close to school partner. Together with you, we want to tackle the challenges you face: the diversity in the classroom, the increasing assertiveness of pupils and parents, high quality standards, changes and reforms …

For us, ‘strengthening’ means: finding a match with the existing competencies and strengths. You remain the real professional, the expert in your field or policy area, you are the school maker. We want you to continue to love your profession and position. That’s why Schoolmakers focuses on change competence and resilience, on permanent expertise in changing circumstances, on positive motivation, on good cooperation based on (self)trust, on developing an entrepreneurial spirit at school. The guidance and coaching of Schoolmakers starts from an equal and appreciative approach.

Schoolmakers wants every actor at and next to school to know and feel strengthened and connected by the others. Each from their own strengths and abilities, but attuned to the needs and wishes of the other. This requires vision, consultation and a stimulating school climate. As Schoolmakers, we are experts in creating a fertile breeding ground for this to happen.

Schoolmakers can offer clear answers to concrete questions, in the form of advice or training, but we also like to get our teeth into more complex issues. What typifies Schoolmakers is that it also works on a trajectory basis, for example in change processes or in the development of a vision, and this together with all the actors involved. On the way, Schoolmakers strengthens the school’s policy-making capacity so that it is on the right track for further growth and development. Our motivation: by supporting schools, we want to contribute to the formation of resilient and self-aware boards, teachers, young adults and children.
