Strategic Partnerships
Description: We enter into strategic partnerships with school districts to focus on Human Resource reforms that increase the efficiency and effectiveness of hiring and school staffing processes. We focus on improving teacher recruitment, selection, placement, and hiring operations and policies, beginning with a thorough analysis of current efforts. We then make recommendations and work with existing staff to implement those recommendations, building the school district or state's capacity to recruit and hire excellent new teachers for years to come.

Policy and Research
Description: We conduct targeted research to identify the obstacles that school systems face to hiring the best teachers possible and quantify the impact of these obstacles on schools, students and teachers. We take a data-driven approach to argue for key reforms and to provide effective tools and realistic recommendations to district officials, legislators, and policy-makers.
