We bring a fresh perspective and years of experience helping schools and school systems break through the barriers that inhibit student achievement. We find key leverage points – and by applying time-tested fundamentals – demonstrate that improved results can be achieved, no matter how unique the obstacles.

"StandardsWork helped our schools and community become informed and feel empowered about student achievement. Now we feel able to work toward that end." -Wes Stucky, President and CEO, Ardmore Chamber of Commerce & Ardmore Chamber Foundation and current StandardsWork board member

 

Using StandardsWork’s Results Card, and other tools, we were able to identify for schools in Jackson Hole, Wyoming important insights about instruction and curriculum. We conducted teacher and community workshops to discuss the findings and helped them develop a plan for change. Similarly, using our Results Card, we helped the Allentown School District, in Pennsylvania identify discrete academic improvement opportunities and facilitated community and school board meetings to share the important results and gain agreement about follow up steps.

On behalf of the Indiana Higher Education Commission, a long-time client, StandardsWork has engaged in some groundbreaking work, including:

  • Creating “super standards,” representing original thinking about how individual content standards are connected and helping to identify big ideas around which teachers could organize their lessons.
  • Evaluating the quality and completeness of the Indiana Cross-Curricular activities and making recommendations for how to improve the integration.
  • Conducting a review of their standards at the high school level to identify priority content for instruction and assessment.
