Are We A Fit?

We work with changemakers who inspire us every day: teachers, principals, counselors, district leaders, program officers, parents, youth, and community leaders.

Our clients share our own deep-seated commitment to equity and justice in our educational  ecosystems.

They recognize that change is hard work.

We probably share similar views on important things:

  • Kids aren’t the problem. Kids don’t need to be “fixed”; it’s our job as adults to set up systems and practices to help them thrive.

  • Equity matters. We need to be working for all kids. And we need to look closely to make sure we’re not missing someone.

  • Serve the whole child. Our job in schools and organizations is to support the whole child’s development, not just their academic learning.

  • People and systems can change. We can learn, grow, and improve. We work to bring out the best in ourselves and others.

We do things a little differently:

  • We have deep subject-matter expertise, and we make space for, honor, and integrate the expertise of our partners and collaborators.

  • We don’t offer plug-and-play programs; our focus is on collaboration, co-creation, and building long-term capacity in the organizations with which we work.

  • We are deeply committed to ongoing reflection and evaluation of our projects as we go, leading to work that is tailored to the needs of our clients. Bonus: it also helps make sure we’re “walking the talk” and helping our partners to do the same.
