EDUCATIONAL COUNCIL BUSINESS PLAN
1. Our work centers on one value proposition:
Helping educational systems personalize learning so each child can succeed.
2. Personalization is about rewriting the education script to put the learner at the heart of the system. Closing the achievement gap, increasing system flexibility, broadening customer choice and standards-driven accountability mandates are pushing us toward a greater and deeper personalization of educational services. The Council plays a vital role in helping systems personalize educational success.
3. The Council’s work involves three key services:
- Hosting conversations that matter.
- Engaging networks of change.
- Delivering innovative solutions and tools.
4. We have four core competencies:
- Mobilizing and managing partnerships and networks.
- Communicating new and useful knowledge.
- Customizing programs and services to fit client needs.
- Pooling financial, programmatic and/or knowledge resources.
5. The Council’s new business plan will be structured around three centers. Each center will be guided by our value proposition (i.e., helping educational systems personalize learning) and our three services (i.e., hosting conversations that matter; engaging networks of change; and delivering innovative solutions and tools).
