We have the tools and proven expertise to catalyze change in low performing schools.

Diagnostics

Low performing schools lack the critical systems to ensure dramatic and sustainable improvement.  Research consistently points to set of four key systems that, when implemented well, promote improved results at all levels.  Our diagnostic focuses on these research based systems to tell you what is currently in place, and where to go next.

Planning &  Implementation 

Based on the results of your diagnostic and other sources of data, Onward Education Consulting will partner with you to set priorities and identify key actions that will address the root causes of underperformance.  We will clarify the benchmarks and targets that will indicate whether implementation is on or off track.

Leadership Coaching

The research is clear: leadership in low performing schools requires a specific set of competencies and skills.  We have partnered with dozens of principals in low performing schools to build their capacity to perform in challenging school settings.  Our work has also benefitted principal supervisors and central administrators who provide direct support to schools.
