Edutelligentsia is a networked education intelligence shop focused on cultivating and curating promising trends, smart connections, and proven practices to help build an outstanding education ecosystem that serves students and families. Edutelligentsia’s networked talent model enables us to partner with you on a variety of education & community development opportunities of varying sizes and complexity. Each proposal and project team is customized to provide you with what you need—fresh perspectives, insights, and/or an extra set of hands—but without the filler or fluff. We take a simple approach to most of our work: "Design backward, deliver forward."​ In short, it means taking an asset-focused philosophy that starts with the goal youre trying reach and what you have to achieve it, rather than starting with the problem and what you lack to solve it. But our approach isn’t set in stone, we believe in personalization and collaboration to meet the needs of each partner and community. We frequently find ourselves assisting at one, some, or all phases of an opportunity. For example, we have worked with partners to: ​► Strategize, plan, innovate, and achieve ambitious outcomes ​► Develop metrics, data, and systems to help visualize, share, and inform decision-making​ ► Identify, reach, engage, and ​include key stakeholders to achieve greater impact ► Develop, implement, and evaluate programs and initiatives ► Award, cultivate, write, and manage grants and other forms of revenues Check out our (updated) site to learn more about what weve done, what were doing, what were excited about, and let us know how we can work with you to build a better education ecosystem for students and families.
