Empowering teachers and leaders to develop high-performing, learning-centered, equitable schools

Education Reimagined

Teacher effectiveness – not theoretical, bureaucratic constructs – has rapidly risen to the top of educational priorities in a new era of reform and revitalization for our schools. Is the system broken? Bold steps are now under consideration to not only enhance the system but to embolden a “new normal” of equitable, high performing schools throughout the U.S.

Evolution Alliance was formed by a team of education consultants who experienced years of frustration working in calcified, inequitable education systems. We knew research existed that could transform educational systems if organizations could just focus on what matters most for students: locally relevant, engaged learning in which rigor was concrete and achievable. Our greatest desire is, and has always been, to help educators evolve to their highest capacity in support of authentic learning experiences for children. The solution is based in simplicity: Support high quality, student-centered instruction based on prioritized standards and measured by balanced assessment systems; this will yield deeper, more robust learning which creates high-performing, more equitable schools. To this end, Evolution Alliance has developed a next generation software tool designed with inclusion in mind. It is embedded in a collaborative process, called CogKnow, the Metacognitive Standards Prioritizer (MSP) – developed to save teachers time as they plan for instruction while saving leaders time as they reference standards and rigor during formative “walk-throughs” and summative evaluations
