Over the past 20 years, Karns Consulting has facilitated successful change processes with middle school and elementary staffs resulting in improved achievement, increased attendance, and better student satisfaction.

Data mirrors effort and need to be respected and utilized as an integral part of decision-making to create instructional targets.

We Create Results

We operate from a belief that we must start with “what they know”, and build with “what they have”. Regardless of the client or audience, we try first to understand. Prior experience and background knowledge can shape future results.

We Develop Instructional Materials

Our materials can be used immediately by the most underserved students. Word cards to help English learners with the vocabulary of their anthologies, cue cards for grammar, anchor papers for writing, and test help for the most reluctant students are all available.

We Facilitate Professional Development

We have been providing graduate-level courses for teachers for the past twenty years. We have developed training packages for classroom management, instructional methods, teaching at risk students, inclusive practices, cultures of reinforcement, the impact of poverty on learning, and parent involvement.
