John Daviau Consulting, LLC offers guidance and resources to improve academic performance through the creation of healthier student learning environments.  We accomplish this by building the skills and expertise of school staff to remove barriers to student learning using proven environmental strategies. Our services specialize in putting research into practice by translating national research into practical and effective local strategies that deliver results.


Improving Academic Performance by Removing Barriers to Learning

  • Research data has clearly demonstrated the links between social, behavioral and emotional health and improved academic performance. 
  • A review of highly successful schools shows that plans to improve the school environment, school climate, and school/community partnerships were an integral component of their overall school improvement plans
  • Recent research has discovered that schools that do not address these areas have seen initial improvements in test scores as a result of NCLB, but these increases plateau after a few years.  The "Testing Plateau" is overcome by removing the social, behavioral and emotional "barriers to learning"


Assisting Schools to Remove Barriers To Student Learning

By addressing the needs of students with evidence-based interventions, in collaboration with community partners, schools will remove student barriers to learning which will result in increased academic performance and test scores.  Specifically, to create successful interventions, John Daviau Consulting, LLC can assist schools to:

  • Identify and assess the student learning barriers that exist in your schools.
  • Create a realistic plan for removing barriers to student learning as a component of a comprehensive school improvement plan.
  • Build the necessary capacities and resources within the school needed to effectively remove these barriers.
  • Guide and support plan implementation, including assuring overall accountability for success of the plan.
  • Evaluate the success of the project by using a continuous feedback loop.  Adjust and refine the project’S interventions based on ongoing implementation feedback.


Compliance with the Federal "Safe and Drug Free Schools Act"

Schools utilizing these strategies can easily come into compliance with the Federal "Safe & Drug Free Schools and Communities Act".  Compliance will help secure your schools portion of these endangered federal funds.  Compliance will also give you a competitive edge in applying for additional state and federal Safe and Drug Free Schools funding.  Learn More by clicking here
