Developmental Evaluation and Improvement Coaching
At Helix Learning Partners, we help education-focused organizations and their leaders become more effective. We care deeply about the quality of the nation’s schools, educational equity, and the potential for education to transform students’ lives.
We bring deep expertise in research methods, nuanced understanding of schools and schooling, and profound respect for the complexity of educational change. We collaborate with our clients to design and conduct the inquiries that will help them do their work better, from theory-building to landscape scans to developmental program evaluation and participatory cycles of continuous improvement.
As learning partners, we approach each new client with curiosity and respect. We pride ourselves in building long-term relationships with clients and we ground our approach in the principles of developmental evaluation, improvement science, co-active coaching, systems thinking, adult learning, and humble inquiry. |
Satisfied Clients“ Dr. Birkeland is a consummate partner, helping us name our assumptions, see our mental models, clarify our desired outcomes, and enact a continuous improvement process. In many ways, she knows us better than we know ourselves, and we are all the better for it.“
