Our Approach
Community Impact
Longterm Partnership
Customized solutions
Strategic Vision
By combining community feedback and expert guidance, we help craft a strategic vision that’s engaging, actionable, and a guiding force for change.
Strategic Planning
Through community surveys and active engagement, we help co-create a plan that will both grow with your changing needs and drive meaningful change.
Strategic Plan Implementation
We help build community buy-in, provide coaching and data analysis, refine based on current results, and give schools the support needed to follow through.
01
We provide tools to engage the community
Beyond a single survey, we support districts with strategies like: focus groups, town halls, and empathy interviews to capture a wide array of data and include a variety of voices. We analyze the data for you, so you can focus on envisioning a path forward.
02
We use research-based performance metrics
We are the exclusive provider of Tripod Surveys – one of the only research-based surveys that actually ties to student performance and teacher effectiveness. Our surveys get you closer to understanding what’s happening down to the classroom level and make a difference where it really matters - at the student level.
03
We identify the right people
Our approach to community engagement goes several steps beyond surveys, in that we also work with district leaders to determine who are the right people to have on various teams throughout the process. We help you determine who should be in the room and who needs to know what.
04
We build trust through outreach
Many strategic planning providers focus solely on designing the plan as their main communication tool. Instead of working in silos and sharing the plan only after it's complete, we partner with districts to create multiple touchpoints, ensuring visibility throughout the process. We help craft intentional messaging and plan the timing and format of each update.
05
We ensure effective plan execution
Our work does not end with a published plan. We work with you to identify immediate next steps and offer implementation support to ensure your vision is executed with fidelity and integrity.
06
100% evidence-based
Every initiative we co-create is grounded in rigorous research, data, and tailored solutions to meet your district's specific needs.
