Invitation-Based Structural Assessment
30-Day Diagnostic
Persistent educator vacancies, preparation-to-hiring gaps, and early-career attrition often reflect structural misalignment across pipeline systems. The 30-Day Diagnostic provides district leaders, university partners, policy organizations, and workforce partners with a focused, executive-level review of pipeline continuity across critical transition points.
This engagement is offered on a limited, invitation-only basis to ensure depth, discretion, and sustained advisory quality.

Engagement Parameters
The diagnostic is structured to serve four organizational contexts:
District Leaders
Pipeline assessment focused on recruitment, hiring, induction, and early-career STEM teacher retention, with particular attention to rural and high-need community contexts.
University Partners

Think Tanks & Policy
Structural analysis of pipeline decision-making patterns to inform policy development, program evaluation, and research initiatives.
Adult Ed & Workforce
Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) pathway and pipeline integration assessment identifying where career changers and paraprofessionals can enter the STEM teaching pipeline more efficiently.
Across all four contexts, the following parameters apply:
Selectivity
Limited engagements accepted per quarter
Focus
Structured scope and defined deliverables
Integrity
Confidential review methodology
Commitment
Leadership-level participation required
Participation is confirmed following an initial exploratory conversation.
