Expanding Students’ Career Pathways at Alton High School, IL
This Illinois high school renovated career pathways in five fields to create more workplace opportunities for all students throughout Grades 9–12.
How We Transform Public Education
We partner with school systems to build on what’s working—strengthening the talent and commitment already present in communities—so every young person is prepared for a future they choose.
Whether you’re strengthening early literacy, leveraging AI to improve teaching and learning, expanding career‑connected learning, or redesigning an entire system around student needs, we bring nearly 30 years of experience in consulting, research, and advocacy—grounded in classroom practice, informed by data, and focused on results.

Research, Policy, and Advocacy
We publish original research on education and economic mobility and translate evidence into policy solutions that drive system‑wide change. We help partners align K–12 policies around data, accountability, and governance, to advance greater systems coherence with an eye toward cross-sector collaboration.

Community Engagement and Coalition Building
We serve as a catalyst and convener—mobilizing students, families, educators, employers, policymakers, and communities toward shared goals and building coalitions strong enough to reshape practice, shift policy, and redesign pathways.
Our Approach
Whether you partner with us to improve early literacy, build your leadership pipeline, or redesign your entire system—we always think systemically. We help you see how each piece connects, ensuring your efforts reinforce rather than compete with each other.
Understand Your Reality
We start with diagnostic clarity—through audits, assessments, and collaborative discovery—to ground your strategy in evidence.
Implement Solutions
We partner with state, system, and community leaders to set goals, develop plans, and implement solutions aligned to your unique context. Our focus on continuous learning and rapid-cycle improvement means we spot and address challenges early—and learn from successes.
Change Management for Sustainability
We focus on what it takes to achieve and sustain change from the outset of our partnership, building the momentum, systems, and capacity needed for efforts to continue long after our work together ends.
