What We Do
We partner with schools, school districts, state agencies, and education organizations to provide:
Strategic Planning
Implementation-focused strategic planning that starts with big goals and then builds out the detailed metrics and milestones for specific priority strategies

Progress Monitoring
Support to establish and run continuous improvement routines (we call them “stocktakes”) focused on progress, problem-solving, and impact

Delivery Support
Development and capacity building of “delivery units” within education organizations (i.e., a highly-skilled team or person focused on managing delivery of the organization’s goals)
Coaching & Change Management
Leadership coaching and change management for education leaders who are focused on student success
Implementation Support
Targeted, structured problem-solving support around implementation challenges

Network Facilitation
Design and facilitation of adult learning communities/networks to share effective education practices and tools across contexts
We are a small, flexible group - we value our relationships with partners and approach our work from a place of “yes.” While we believe our expertise and the delivery approach add tremendous value, we also honor the needs of your context. We will work with you to customize a scope of work to achieve your goals.
How We Work
We are a small, flexible group – we value our relationships with partners and approach our work from a place of “yes.” While we believe our expertise and the delivery approach add tremendous value, we also honor the needs of your context. We will work with you to customize a scope of work to achieve your goals.
We define our partnerships not around deliverables but around what really matters: buy-in, commitment, and implementation that follows through to fulfill the promises of the organization. Therefore, we focus heavily on building the capacity of our partners – so that we become unnecessary AND so that you can actually achieve your ambitious goals for students.
And importantly, we are former educators ourselves who understand the importance and challenges of this work. We center students in our decision making and we push you to do the same.
