ISA has helped its partner schools and districts optimize the structures that bind them together, from the communication systems that connect all buildings in a district to the streamlining of support that flows from the central office to its schools. Tap ISA to assist with strategic planning, to help you achieve your mission, vision, and values.

Is the culture and climate of your school or district lagging after 2 years of the pandemic? ISA has worked with partner schools and districts to measure that culture and climate to get a sense of what is working and not working and then codevelop and implement a plan to improve culture and climate, with a focus on parent engagement, social emotional wellness for students and staff, and distributed counseling.

This is the beating heart of your school or district: the people that work there. Are they being used in the best way that will not only grow the organization but will also allow them to grow and flourish—in much the same way that we want our students to grow and flourish? Turn to ISA to review your human talent systems and to support you and partner with you to improve this area.

We're a team that revels in the nitty-gritty. One partner school wanted help thinking through its daily schedule and annual calendar. Were they optimizing teaching and learning? A district asked: How can our afterschool and summer programs improve student achievement? We're former school and district leaders who have experience solving these kinds of issues.

This is our bread and butter; we've been helping schools and districts with their instructional programs for more than 20 years. ISA coaches—all of whom are instructional and curricular experts—help review instructional and curricular programs for gaps, codevelop plans to close those gaps, and get into school buildings and classrooms to help with and monitor implementation.
