Our Work
Education Direction has a singular goal: to improve student outcomes in K-12 public education. We accomplish our mission of improving instruction, building coherence, and creating capacity by means of research, strategic consulting, and professional development.Improving Instruction
Education Direction prepares districts, schools and teachers to examine the relationship between teaching and student learning and to use instruction as the main lever to improve student outcomes. Our team supports teachers and school leaders as they learn to use data to inform decision-making at the classroom level, ensuring that improvements to teaching practice are in direct response to student learning needs.
Building Coherence
At Education Direction we know that coherence plays an integral role in the success of districtwide improvement efforts. In order for improvement efforts to be successful, scalable, and sustainable, all parties—and most importantly district level leaders—must have a clear vision of the work that is taking place, and must allocate resources in a way that signals the importance of the improvement efforts.
Creating Capacity
Through training, professional development and ongoing support, Education Direction creates capacity at all levels of the organizations with which we work—from district leaders to classroom teachers. Working alongside district and school leaders and school-based teams, Education Direction provides practical, relevant training to help groups and individuals lead school improvement efforts.
