District Partnerships
Your district needs a flexible approach grounded in systems thinking, evidence, and deep field experience.
We partner with school districts to strengthen learning through expert analysis, thoughtful design, and collaborative implementation support.
OUR FOCUS
A FLEXIBLE APPROACH
Co-Creation: Your strategy, our expertise
We don’t deliver an off-the-shelf program., but rather co-create systems that meet you where you are. We offer a range of support, from strategic analysis of existing curricula/initiatives to full-scale implementation through three flexible tiers.
EVIDENCE-BASED REFINEMENT
Grounded in research, best practices, and frequent refinement
Our approaches are grounded in research and strengthened through ongoing evaluation with Data+Soul, a leading data firm rooted in equity. We refine our methods based on evidence, not assumptions, ensuring continuous improvement.
ENHANCEMENT, NOT REPLACEMENT
Integration into your unique schools and ecosystem
Districts get the strongest results when Environmental Applied Civics is integrated into existing programs. We help strengthen your curriculum so young people can work with their community on real environmental issues while still meeting learning goals.
OUR SERVICES
Start with an exploratory conversation to understand your goals, context, and capacity. From there, we’ll help you decide the level of engagement that best fits your needs.
Tier 1: Analysis and strategic direction
We review your existing curriculum, unit, or initiative through a systems and implementation lens. You’ll receive clear recommendations grounded in evidence, practice, and existing constraints—along with a roadmap that makes next steps actionable.
Tier 2: Strategy to solutions
Tier 2 includes everything in Tier 1, plus hands-on support to prepare you for launch. We work with your team to translate strategy into materials, frameworks, and shared understanding—so implementation doesn’t depend on a single person.
Tier 3: Full implementation support
Tier 3 includes all prior deliverables and adds sustained support through the first year of implementation. This is a deeper partnership focused on quality, scale, and results. This tier typically involves regular engagement and may include in-person support.
