Welcome to Our Website
We are educational planners, working across the USA and in England guiding the creation of innovative schools that improve teaching and empower students. We seek to prepare and position schools for the demands and opportunities of 21st Century learning.
Our work is transformational. It restructures school operations and improves educational delivery. It redefines the roles and relationships of teachers and students, improves educational programming, and strengthens the place and relationship of schools in their communities.
We lead an important consensus-building process that builds support and understanding for school transformation and innovation among administrators, teachers, students, parents and the greater community. Our work is future-oriented. With a committee of school stakeholders, we establish an Educational Vision for the future school and set up strategies to guide school restructuring, program development, and professional staff development as steps toward that future. We launch Pilot Projects to test those innovative ideas.
We also create spatial concepts for learning environments and work with architects to design flexible buildings that facilitate these educational aspirations.
In the past year we planned schools from Alaska to England in both the public and the private sector. We worked on all sorts of schools from Pre-K to 12, including high schools, career tech schools, alternative schools, and elementary magnet schools. We developed district-wide master plans, sometimes planning for school consolidation, and other times for school expansion.
In all of this we are the messengers of best practices, incorporating the best we know from school research and leadership around the world. We maintain a growing file of Role Model Schools that we share and study with our clients.
While our work fits into the traditional educational planning categories listed in the header bar above, it is hardly traditional. Take a look.
