We are a mission-driven strategy and policy organization with unique and deep expertise in education improvement. We partner with practitioners, policymakers, funders and advocates to design and accelerate policies and plans that help all young people - particularly students in poverty and students of color - succeed in college, careers and life.
We are thought partners with our clients. We value relationships that are grounded in honesty and inquiry because we believe that an open exchange of ideas, supported by careful vetting, will produce dynamic results. We encourage our clients to think expansively yet be pragmatic; to take smart but reasonable risks; to learn from others; and to follow through from great ideas to successful implementation.

"As a first year principal, my work with Dennis was invaluable. He has been an amazing resource and thought partner who understands the milestones of leadership. He is supportive, knowledgeable and honest. Although he is equipped with models and examples of best practices, there is special care and attention paid to individual needs of your school. Dennis' work and support goes far beyond that of an average consultant and it is great to know that I always have someone to call on for even the simplest of questions."
