How Insight Can Help

The team at Insight Education Group has assisted states and districts with successful federal grant applications totaling more than $500 million. 

Since 2000, we have supported schools, districts, charter management organizations and states through some of their largest challenges, including:

• creating effective human capital management systems,
• developing and implementing strategic plans with district and state leaders,
• successfully turning around under-performing schools, and
• training and supporting current and aspiring leaders.

The efficacy of our work has been documented in prominent studies such as:

• The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s Measures of Effective Teaching Project
• Harvard's Center for Education Policy Research's The Best Foot Forward Project
• RAND Corporation's Improving Teaching Effectiveness: Access to Effective Teaching
• Georgia's Governor’s Office of Student Achievement (GOSA)'s 2015-2016 End-of-Year Evaluation Report for the Reading Mentors Program

The following services from Insight align with the absolute priorities listed above.

• TRACTION for School Improvement™: A school improvement model that helps leaders make bold changes that stick—resulting in schools where students thrive and teachers clamor to work.
• Supporting Teacher Effectiveness Project (STEP): A teacher-driven community of practice focused on improving instruction and increasing student achievement.
• Insight Leadership Academies: Based on evidence-based research and practice, the Academy model is an in-person, customized professional development experience delivered on-site in your district for up to 50 leaders per cohort, including principals, vice principals, aspiring leaders, and teacher leaders.
• Coaching for Change: Our results-oriented, job-embedded coaching model ensures that new knowledge and skills translate directly into effective practices for teachers.
