Springboard Schools is the quiet champion of public school reform. There is so much snake oil in public school reform. Charter schools, vouchers, more money..less money...nothing works but the type of work Springboard does. It's not sexy..it's not a soundbite...it's hard to put in a film clip......but through my four years of invovlement with them ...it works. They have the data to show that their simple methodologies ...work.

As a former school principal and now a high tech employee I have enormous respect for the model which Springboard Schools uses to improve the level of achievement of all students in our CA schools. It's hard work, closing the achievement gap, but they have the data to prove it and frankly, our students need all the help they can get. I am impressed not only with the model of inquiry which helps teachers to improve their instructional practice, but also their ability to conduct rigorous research that ensures their coaching methods are sound and they are really reaching the students that need support.

[This process has] strengthened my ability as an instructional leader. It has given me the skills I need and shown me the things I needed to do as an instructional leader, which I didn't have before. – Heidi Witcher, Principal, Sequoia Elementary, Richland School District *This review was collected by Springboard Schools

Being a new superintendent, it was invaluable to have a coach who didn't just simply tell me what to do, but who helped me process what issues, strategies and priorities I needed to address. - Ardella Dailey, Alameda Unified School District *This review was collected by Springboard Schools
