ROR TOTAL TRAINING AND IMPLEMENTATION SOLUTION

ROR changes the paradigm of recruitment with an entrepreneurial mindset by weaving in basic sales strategies within the foundations of educational recruiting. The system shows teams how to access “proactive inquiries” and guide prospective families through a concise process, where students matriculate, quickly.
HEAD OF SCHOOL MASTER CLASS FOR ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT
Overview
The role of Head of School has never been more demanding. In fact the skill sets of all educational stakeholders have expanded. Your oversight no longer entails merely overseeing the enrollment management office, but being a proactive partner in the process of retaining and recruiting students. Additionally, you must be prepared to maintain and create new relationships with diverse referral sources. Much like your role in fundraising… while your Director of Development may set the preliminary groundwork…major donors want a relationship with you before they make a major gift. So too with admissions, some families need that final conversation with you before finally enrolling.
TRUSTEE ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT MASTER CLASS
Overview
The role of the trustee has never been more demanding. In fact the skill sets of all educational stakeholders have expanded. No longer can trustees see themselves as merely stewards of the schools fiduciary health and the hiring and firing of heads.
In order to best apply your professional acumen to assist the school you must have a more in depth insight into the unique challenges of each department…and nowhere is it more critical than in admissions. As the primary revenue source of the school your school cannot afford to stumble.

People are waiting to have children and if they finally do they are having less.

What People Are Saying
Client Testimonials
Tom, It is good to know that you remain committed to ‘vanquishing evil’ and promoting opportunities for youth around the world to become all that they are to become. Yours is a life well spent. Well done!"
“Tom’s careful, attentive, and supportive guidance, along with his ever-upbeat presence, were invaluable to me in my daunting task of doubling our institution’s Annual Fund. From dealing with boards to dealing with donors, from the basics of board reports to holistic mantras of encouragement and healthy attitudes, I was empowered with every consultation. Tom’s personal experience in the trenches of leadership, institutional operations, and marketing, along with his personal positive energy, make him a gem of an ally.”
.I have known Tom for forty years and in that time I have developed the highest regard for him as a trusted and valued colleague and a dear friend. He is a man of exceptional kindness, grace, generosity, and achievement. Over the course of his life and career, he has developed the valuable skills of adapting to adversity and problem solving with exemplary self-discipline, open-mindedness, cooperation, and patience. And perhaps Tom’s greatest gift is the fact that he never fails to find the inherent good and potential in people and organizations….”
“Tom Schenck is a leader in the field of independent school admissions—a brilliant combination of decades of experience with tried and true approaches with imaginative outside-the-box strategic thinking that’s so important in these unprecedented and challenging times.”
Throughout my three plus decade tenure as the Head of School of Wasatch Academy I have had the privilege to associate with Tom Schenck as a friend, colleague, employee, and consultant. Regardless of circumstances Tom maintains a high level of enthusiasm towards life. This attitude nurtures his extraordinary capacity for empathy and forward-thinking when addressing institutional challenges and matters of concern impacting individuals and organizations. Wasatch Academy has benefitted from his leadership as the Head of Advancement during his five years of service in this role and his wisdom and knowledge as a consultant over the last five years. Tom's vast experience at Independent Schools as a teacher, coach, admission director, head of advancement, and Head of School gives him a depth of insight regarding school operations and governance invaluable to administrators and trustees.
`Tom's Dynamic personality and creative approach helped change our team's mindset from passive to proactive... They became empowered and added over 2,000 more referral sources, and dramatically increased our applications in 3 months!
“Tom. So much of the inspiration behind this creative output, what we are doing now, and what processes we will use moving forward have been heavily influenced by your guidance and inspiration, and most importantly, your encouragement"
“Regarding the materials you've created, I think you're a master teacher. There is an obvious pedagogical organization that would make any admission officer feel incredibly encouraged and excited by the opportunity to grow. I could hear a rookie or experienced pro looking at this and saying to themselves, "this will take me to the next level; it's the secret sauce that makes some people great!"
