Work With Us
Ready to create lasting change? Here's how we partner with education and public sector leaders to build solutions that matter.
Who We Partner With
We work with mission-driven leaders who are ready to do things differently:
- State Education Agencies navigating policy shifts and systemic improvement
- School Districts (urban, rural, and everything in between) tackling complex challenges
- Regional Education Cooperatives coordinating multi-district initiatives
- Public Sector Organizations focused on community impact
- Foundations and Nonprofits advancing educational equity
If you're tired of quick fixes and ready to build something that lasts, we should talk.
How We Work Together
Every partnership is unique, but our approach remains consistent: Listen deeply. Design together. Implement sustainably.
1. Discovery Conversation (30 minutes)
We start with a no-pressure call to understand your challenges and explore whether we're the right fit. This isn't a sales pitch—it's a genuine conversation about what you're facing and what's possible.
2. Landscape & Listening (2-4 weeks)
Before we design anything, we need to understand your context:
- Review existing plans, data, and initiatives
- Interview key stakeholders and partners
- Observe systems and culture in action
- Identify assets to build on (not just problems to fix)
3. Co-Design Process (4-8 weeks)
This is where the magic happens. We work alongside your team to:
- Facilitate inclusive planning sessions
- Synthesize community input with data insights
- Create strategies grounded in your values
- Build buy-in across stakeholder groups
- Develop clear implementation roadmaps
4. Implementation Partnership (Ongoing)
Change doesn't happen in a workshop. We stick around to:
- Support rollout and troubleshoot challenges
- Build internal capacity for sustainability
- Monitor progress and adjust strategies
- Celebrate wins and learn from setbacks
- Ensure the work takes root
Engagement Options
Comprehensive Partnerships (6-18 months)
Full-scale support for major initiatives like strategic planning, systems redesign, or district transformation. We become an extension of your team.
Targeted Projects (2-6 months)
Focused support for specific challenges: community engagement campaigns, data system alignment, leadership development series, or implementation planning.
Facilitation & Training (1-5 days)

Strategic Advising (Ongoing)
Regular thought partnership for leaders navigating complex change. Monthly or quarterly sessions to reflect, strategize, and stay grounded.
What Makes Us Different
We don't arrive with answers. We believe the best solutions already exist within your community—our job is to help you uncover and activate them.
We think in generations, not quarters. Every recommendation considers long-term sustainability and impact on future students.
We honor all forms of knowledge. Data matters. So does community wisdom, lived experience, and ancestral insight.
We stay humble. We've learned as much from our failures as our successes, and we bring that learning to every engagement.
Investment
We price our work to be accessible to public sector organizations while sustaining our team and mission. Typical investments range from:
All engagements include:
- Dedicated team with senior-level involvement
- Custom tools and resources
- Ongoing implementation support
- Knowledge transfer to build internal capacity
We're happy to work within grant parameters and fiscal year constraints. Let's discuss what makes sense for your budget and needs.
