SchoolWorks, founded in 1998 and
based in Beverly, Massachusetts, is an educational consulting group
whose mission is to advance all aspects of student learning by
building the capacity of educators and educational institutions
to assess, plan for and achieve student success.
Our vision is to be the leader in school improvement
services through unparalleled knowledge of our clients’ strengths and needs. We
will learn with our clients as their capacity to educate students
evolves. We will achieve our vision by continually learning
from effective practices and by reflecting on how we impact student
learning, educators’ practices and client satisfaction.
SchoolWorks works with:
- Departments of Education. We provide systems and services
for states to examine both exceptional and underperforming schools.
- School Districts.We assist districts in the design and
implementation of their own internal school quality reviews. We
also train local personnel to participate in the review process.
Districts may engage SchoolWorks in the delivery of professional development
to principals and other school leaders in the use of data for improvement
planning.
- Charter School Authorizers. We provide school quality
reviews as part of the charter review and renewal process.
- Foundations. We provide school quality reviews
and technical assistance to schools supported by foundations. These
services consider the return on the foundation's investment, as
well as next steps in school progress.
- Charter Schools and District Schools. We assist
all schools in defining, measuring and reporting progress against
accountability plan goals. We also assist newly-approved charter
schools in the planning and implementation of the school start-up
phase.
