Our Values
DeliverEd is driven by one mission: to achieve significant results for students by building the education sector's capacity to manage implementation of reforms at scale. We believe that public education suffers from a massive implementation gap; we have no shortage of policies and ideas for reforming our field, but we do not focus nearly enough on how these ideas actually get translated into action that transforms a system.
The delivery approach is our proven method for closing this gap. We aim to transform the field of public education by making this approach a standard skillset for every leader at every level.
Our values reflect and reinforce this mission:
The delivery approach is our proven method for closing this gap. We aim to transform the field of public education by making this approach a standard skillset for every leader at every level.
Our values reflect and reinforce this mission:
- Commitment to outcomes: We aren't successful unless our partners move the needle on results for students and families. We only work with leaders who are serious about doing this, and we go about it with a sense of pace and urgency.
- Focus on equity: We work with and challenge our partners to center equity in their root-cause analysis, strategies for improvement, and progress monitoring routines. We help leaders fulfill the promise of access to high-quality teaching and learning for those whom the system has traditionally failed.
- Capacity-building: Our partnerships aren't successful unless we leave behind a person or team fully capable of applying the delivery approach without us. We won't form a partnership until we know who will carry on the work after we're done.
- Obsessive quality: We do whatever it takes to get it right for our partners, from answers to big strategic questions to the smallest details of the work we produce. For that reason, our partnership agreements are focused on outcomes and deliverables rather than inputs. And if you're not satisfied with our work, neither are we.
- Flexibility: Aside from these values, we have no other "non-negotiables" in the way we work. We adapt our approach to fit your circumstances, we collaborate eagerly and humbly with others, and we have no ego about what the work is called or who gets the credit.
