Currently, we work with about 30 NYC district K-12 schools, primarily in the Bronx.
We work collaboratively with school teams to understand their challenges, build tools and analyses, and facilitate inquiry coaching programs that are tailored to their needs. We help schools save time, improve instruction, make better decisions, and instill a culture of continuous learning and improvement anchored in data. We aim to know the school and their team so we can help them tackle their most pressing problems. We’re looking for someone special to join our team to help us provide better support to more schools.
