Facilitating AI Policy Development

With the introduction and increasingly widespread use of technologies like generative AI, educational leaders are challenged with, not only understanding these new technologies, their uses, and applications, but also with developing policies that honor your school's values and mission while acknowledging the pervasive nature of these technologies. We leverage our expertise in navigating diverse school values, cultures, and climates to work with your leadership to facilitate the development of policies that not only honor your school's vision but that are in the best interests of the students and families you serve. 

Developing Aligned Assessments

We provide custom professional development for your teachers on creating standards-aligned assessments that provide meaningful information on their students' learning. Rather than canned, one-size-fits-all PD, we partner with you to understand your teachers' needs and to design a focused solution that addresses these needs.

Professional Development, Leadership Coaching, and Mentoring 

Every school is different, so an out-of-the-box, canned solution doesn't always work. We partner with you to understand your individual needs and to provide custom professional development for your team, focused on high-impact data use strategies. If you're seeking individual mentoring, coaching, and support, we also provide one-on-one services to support you in leading data-driven change for your school or district.

Chronic Absenteeism: Deeper Dive and Strategic Solutioning

Because school districts have limited resources, interventions must be strategic and focused on the individual needs and situations of YOUR students; a canned, one-size-fits-all solution won't work. We partner with you to understand your students' needs and to design a focused solution that addresses these needs.

Our partnership begins with an analysis of your data, to understand trends and identify any patterns or relationships that are contributing to chronic absenteeism. Then we dive into these findings together and create a data-driven plan, customized to meet your students' needs and multi-faceted because we understand that one size DOESN'T fit all. Every plan that we develop includes multiple checkpoints along the way, to evaluate what's working and what's not. 

Grant Writing and Evaluation Services

We have a proven track record of successful grant applications, having been awarded over $8.2 million in competitive grants. In addition, we have experience serving as external evaluators for large, multi-year federal grants. Contact us today to schedule time to talk about how we may be able to assist you with your grant application and/or with your grant evaluation needs.

Custom Data Analysis and Research Services

Educational leaders in smaller schools or districts may not have the on-demand support of a research and evaluation team. We are educational researchers, and we've led large-scale assessment, research, and evaluation projects for individual schools, for districts, and for state education agencies. We provide these same data analysis supports to you because every school and district deserves access to high-quality data analytics and research, to best support their students' learning. We do ad-hoc as well as ongoing projects, and we love working with smaller schools and districts.

Strategic Planning, PLC Leadership, or MTSS/RTI Services

Because our services are always customized to YOUR needs, we work with you to understand where your school is at, in terms of the PLC, MTSS/RTI, or strategic planning processes.  We have years of experience leading PLCs and MTSS processes for school districts, and we've also guided superintendents in strategic data use for school improvement and planning purposes. We've trained teams of administrators and teachers on high-impact data use strategies to support their students' learning. We'd love to work with you to provide these customized supports to your school or district.
