What If You Could Cut Suspensions in Half—While Improving School Culture?

At Peay & Associates Consultant Group LLC, we help districts reduce behavioral incidents, strengthen school culture, and improve academic outcomes through evidence-based, relationship-centered practices. Our district partners typically see:

  • 30–60% reductions in suspensions and referrals

  • Improved teacher retention and staff morale

  • Increased instructional time

  • Reduced racial disproportionality in discipline

We partner with your district to build relationship-centered systems that create lasting change—not quick fixes. Through evidence-based practices aligned to your goals, we deliver:
  • Mindset practices that transform how educators approach behavior
  • Culturally responsive classroom management with real-time coaching
  • Sustainable systems that outlast our partnership
  • Data-driven leadership support for continuous improvement
This isn't traditional professional development. It's systemic change.
Stronger relationships. Safer schools. Better outcomes for every student.

Founder Spotlight: Dr. Peay

Why I Do This Work

I've spent over 20 years in urban education—as a teacher, leader, and principal. I've seen firsthand what a positive school culture can do for students, staff, families, and entire communities.
But I've also seen the disparities.
I've watched brilliant students labeled as "problems" and pushed out of school. I've seen teachers burn out because they felt unsupported. I've witnessed racial disproportionality in discipline data—not just as an educator, but as a parent of color navigating the system for my own children.
 
I saw a need for change. So I created it.
Peay & Associates Consultant Group LLC was born from a simple truth: relationships are the catalyst for sustainable change. When we build authentic connections and create equitable systems, students thrive, teachers stay, and communities trust their schools again.
