Testimonial

Mass Insight’s review gives us confirmation that our school improvement strategy is working and producing positive results for Georgia students.

Richard Woods
State School Superintendent, Georgia

Mass Insight has been the best professional development that the city offers. The value that they lend to my pedagogy and children's education is imperative.

Kalimah Rahim
High School Teacher, Boston Public Schools

High school programs like Mass Insight Education's Advanced Placement STEM and English coursework have made significant inroads in bringing college-level academics, and, with it, college-level ambitions, to more students from diverse backgrounds.

The Boston Globe

Year after year, our contract with Mi is the single best investment we make as a school district.

Dr. David Smith
Superintendent, Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation, Evansville, IN

Mi helped us think outside the box and look at what new strategies are being used to support English language learners and low-income students -- and to apply that then to a really focused plan that can make change within the school.

Ruth Baldivia
Principal, Aurora Public Schools, Aurora CO

This work is important for the economy of Massachusetts and the country.

Hear firsthand accounts of how we are changing lives and changing schools here at Mass Insight.

Our work with schools and districts is grounded in our
Theory of Action©. Schools will dramatically improve and student learning
will increase when schools have:

Conditions
Sufficient school-level control over people, time, money, and program to address the root causes of low performance
Planning
Evidence-based, actionable improvement plans that address the root causes of low performance informed by a review of existing conditions and input from school, district, and community stakeholders
Leadership
A principal who can manage and communicate complexity while maintaining focus on the school's vision and key priorities
Focus on Instruction
Processes and supports that help teachers work together to constantly improve and refine standards-based instructional practice so that students can engage in deep learning tasks
Collective responsibility
The school faculty and staff ensure there is collective responsibility for both the quality of instruction and student learning and success
Performance management
Consistent processes for using data to measure both implementation and outcomes to determine what's working and inform efforts to improve
Partnerships
Partnerships that help the school meet the multiple needs of teachers and students

We are changing lives and changing schools across the nation.
