An Amazing Partner
“If you are looking for a thought-partner who approaches the harried and complex work in education from a place of calm, with a decision-making mindset that is steeped in reflective practices, and with a clear and time-bound action planning approach, then you should enlist the support of Adam Stumacher. He has been an amazing partner to the Framingham Public Schools. Even after doing this work for 18 years as a public school superintendent, I now model much of my leadership approach based on the very successful strategies that he has employed while working with us.”
— Dr. Robert A. Tremblay, Superintendent, Framingham Public Schools
A Clear, Steady Presence
“Our district was facing challenges related to discipline disparities and we needed to strengthen climate and culture across multiple schools. We recognized that in order to create sustainable change, we needed support in shifting both systems and mindsets. Adam Stumacher entered this work with a clear, steady presence and a collaborative spirit. From the beginning, he demonstrated a deep understanding of the complexity of our context and the importance of both diagnostic insight and relationship-building. His contributions have been both strategic and human-centered, helping to reduce disparities and increase student engagement.”
— Dr. Aaron T. Jennings, Chief of Staff, Chelsea Public Schools
Meaningful and Sustainable Change
Adam is a true thought-partner who brings both expertise and authenticity to the work. In our district, he listened carefully, honored our local context, and collaborated with us to design restorative practices that were both meaningful and sustainable. Adam’s guidance helped us strengthen systems and shift mindsets in ways that created safer, more welcoming schools. What I valued most was his ability to take restorative principles and translate them into concrete strategies that aligned with our community values and priorities. The impact of his work was evident in the way staff engaged with new practices and in the stronger sense of belonging and accountability across our schools.
