Melika Butcher-Davis is a Senior Director of Leader Development with Attuned Education Partners, where she provides thought-partnership and support to school and system leaders in the forms of instructional coaching, professional development, and content-specific support. One of Melika's key partners is Leominster Public Schools, which has seen tremendous results over the course of our partnership, closing achievement gaps in both ELA and Math. In addition, Melika has supported a subset of schools within Harford Public Schools’ Innovation Network, a cohort engaged in community-driven innovation to transform the student experience. One of these schools, Betances Learning Lab, has demonstrated consistent growth over the past three years. During this period, the school’s Performance Index increased in both ELA and Math, growing from 60.6 in SY22–23 to 66.3  in SY24–25, and from 63.7 in SY22–23 to 71.2 in SY24–25, respectively.
