Catalyzing Improvement

Catalyst [ka-tə-ləst] noun: an agent that provokes or speeds significant change or action

We tackle education's most stubborn challenges through rigorous analytics that catalyze improvement work. Our approach combines advanced research methodologies with deep expertise in how schools and educational systems actually work.

We collaborate as analytical partners with organizations committed to meaningful change, providing sophisticated measurement, analysis, and research insights. Together, we help derive deeper insights from data so organizations can make better decisions at each step of their improvement work.

Ideas from the CoLab is a collection of thoughts, ideas and musings that we have generated over many hours and years of conversation about the science of improvement and how to get it to ‘work’ in education. Some of these ideas are still quite rough. Others have been refined closer to principles that we use in our work.
