School and Program Development
Developing a new school, program, or course, requires understanding all the pieces of the puzzle. From the funding and regulations, to the relevant technology, to the human resources, each piece affects the others, and these need to be then constructed to build an effective system that will have the most positive impact on student outcomes.
We have developed schools, programs, and courses from the ground up, and know the pieces involved, and will dive into the details to ensure effective results.

Grant Writing
It takes more than good writing skills to write a grant. Grants require developing and explaining the program that the grant is going to help pay for. Further, writing a grant requires showing appropriate data to meet its requirements. And you still need to be able to touch the hearts of the grant readers, so that they will care about your cause. Thus the grant writer must be able to blend story with analysis and know the tricks of the trade to get it ahead of the others. We have this expertise, and have earned over a million dollars of funding for our clients.

A teacher you see is a special breed; They take the time to expand one’s mind, and when in doubt, you ask about, and they will help you figure it out. And in time, as you will see, you have a mind more than you see. So thank you Teachers for teaching me, and giving me back my dignity.

Jacob is an educator who has shown outstanding dedication to improving the field of education and helping to improve practice in California… Working with Jacob, I directly observed his personal commitment to improving education, and getting things “right”. He took his task of helping to revise the standards very seriously, and pulled from his personal expertise, as well as interviewing other experts, and doing additional research to determine what skills and knowledge are most important for an entry level employee to know when entering the field. He was able to draw from both academic theory and practical knowledge in the process.
