Vision

The School Improvement Team builds valued partnerships that are transformative.

Mission

The School Improvement Team works alongside schools and districts to provide collaborative, customized support based on demonstrated needs. We believe all students should have access to personalized, high-quality instruction, effective teaching, and environments that promote both learning and well-being. We partner with local school improvement teams to set clear, realistic goals, track progress transparently, and find creative, practical solutions driven by data, built on trust, and always focused on what’s best for students.
