Our Approach

Our research-based approach has five guiding principles to redesign authentic and collaborative family and school partnerships: heart-centered; participatory; data-informed; impact driven; and technical and adaptive design.

Heart-centered

We prioritize compassion, empathy, and human connection.

participatory

We are committed to inclusivity, participation, and collective wisdom.

data-informed

We use rigorous analysis and insights to guide effective and equitable strategies.

impact driven

We measure outcomes and refine strategies based on evidence for meaningful and lasting results.

TECHNICAL AND ADAPTIVE DESIGN

We use the heart and mind to co-create solutions.

  • “The designEDengagement team models what they preach...

    They were true partners in this work with us. By the end of our engagement, they not only delivered on the outcomes we hoped, but they also helped us create a movement of parent power in our organization.”
