   Most assessment tools and data systems tell teachers what to re-teach. This approach is proven not to work because it doesn’t address the root causes of learning gaps.Educational leaders come to me when: They are tired of having the same conversations about student success and not seeing results. They are worried they’ll be called out for not having made any improvements They are frustrated with their limited power to influence curriculum and instruction decisions They need a way to determine whether initiatives are having the intended impactAfter working together clients walk away with:1⃣ Absolute clarity on the size of learning gaps for each student2⃣ Hard data on whether gaps are shrinking or expanding over the school year and over the career of each student3⃣ Proven training, coaching and systems for teachers to shrink learning gaps4⃣ A proprietary methodology for identifying the fundamental unmet need for each student and group5⃣ Research-backed tools to measure and prove the impact of initiatives6⃣ The joy of finally seeing students catch up and succeed The CONFIDENCE they can shrink learning gaps and deliver world-class education to every studentOur True Progress Accelerator identifies students who are not making sufficient progress, helps teachers identify what fundamental needs are not being met for those students, and then lets you know whether those solutions are working or not.CURIOUS TO LEARN MORE?Learn how our student equity engine can help you close the gap.
