WE CHANGE BELIEFS & BEHAVIORS
TO CHANGE EDUCATION FOR THE BETTER.
For our clients, Blueprint to Great Schools is their first call when it’s time to get serious about building excellent PK–12 institutions. We partner with schools, networks, and systems across the country to close the gap between strategy and execution, transforming good intentions into measurable results.
Our Blueprint, a replicable model for strategic planning and development, helps educators and boards align their Beliefs & Behaviors around one goal: better outcomes for students.
We work through our Blueprint of Beliefs & Behaviors for each Practice: Vision Clarification, School Design, Schooling.
Our Services - The Blueprint In Action
Our Core Beliefs
Schools shape society. The most powerful lever we have to improve our communities is to improve our schools through lasting change.
Vision creates direction; systems make it real. Achieving ambitious school outcomes requires translating a vision into clear priorities, measurable goals, and shared understanding across an organization.
Even the best-designed systems fail without aligned leadership. Lasting change comes from a united front of vision-aligned, systematic leaders.
Reflection sustains coherence. Schools improve when leaders regularly examine their Beliefs & Behaviors in the face of externalities.
& Behaviors
We coach for action. Easier said than done: We will challenge thinking, and push leaders to break out of their routines to focus on the highest-leverage work.
We develop high-capacity leaders. Our approach centers on working directly with promising school and district leaders to help them lead with confidence and clarity.
We design alongside. When clients lack capacity or systems, we can model decision-making, strengthen rationale, and upskill teams in real time.
We accelerate progress through trust and candor. Lasting change requires transparency, shared accountability, and the willingness to lead with conviction.
How We Partner
We build long-term partnerships through a shared commitment to achieving lasting and transformational outcomes that go beyond a single initiative or school year.
We start by deeply understanding each school in its context and community.
We then work in partnership with key leaders to go after an institution’s most ambitious vision, often challenging and reshaping the way leaders think along the way.
Our work most frequently takes the form of 3-5 year deep engagements, complemented by shorter-term (6-18 month) targeted sprints.
