Dr. Darin A. Thompson is a veteran K–12 educator, school improvement expert, and the founder of Pivotal Leaders Group, LLC, an education consulting company that helps principals, assistant principals, and other school leaders drive meaningful, lasting improvement more effectively than any traditional method.
With nearly two decades of experience, including a decade as a principal in both inner-city and suburban schools, Dr. Thompson has consistently led double-digit gains in student outcomes and closed achievement gaps for historically underserved populations.
A two-time Outstanding Principal Regional Finalist, his thought leadership has been featured in EdWeek, the Journal of Urban Learning, Teaching and Research, and in the book Preparing to Lead: Narratives of Aspiring School Leaders in a Post-COVID World. He has also presented nationally at conferences such as the NASSP/NAESP United Conference, the Southern Regional Education Board’s Making Schools Work Conference, and as keynote for the NAACP Chesterfield Chapter Scholarship Gala.
Now, through his signature framework, which aligns structural change with addressing the foundational realities that undermine progress, Dr. Thompson coaches school leaders on how to remove barriers to successful school improvement, strengthen their leadership impact, and create sustainable results for students.
