Transforming Educational Leadership
Shauna Stephanchick founded STEP Up Consulting in 2019 continuing a 20 year prestigious career in education. She has served as an elementary teacher, instructional coach, elementary principal, instructional coach for the Regional Professional Development Center of Kansas City and worked as a Missouri Department of Secondary and Elementary Education PLC consultant and ELA content specialist.
This role advanced her knowledge in effective frameworks for implementing PLCs district-wide. It also provided insight to rural, and suburban school districts which widened her perspective beyond the urban setting. During her time as a consultant, she helped 5 of her building schools become recognized by DESE as PLC Exemplar Schools of Missouri.
