We focus on improving student academic outcomes at the state level.According to NAEP, more than half of K-12 students score "below proficient." Nothing has changed since "A Nation at Risk" was published in 1983.When a large problem is immune to thousands of attempts to fix it, we need to look outside the box for a solution. Most attempts have been mere tinkering around the edges and in scientific terms, we need a "second order change." Off the Charts (OTC) research revealed that no one is addressing the real problems, as identified by rigorous Root Cause Analysis (RCA). Typically, the problems are interconnected, which means that if even one major problem is not addressed, overall attempt at improvement will fall flat. The OTC solution is a culmination of years of research and experience finally brought together in an approach that goes beyond targeted point solutions and presents a holistic approach to change in the education system. OTC takes education change to a new level that cuts through the political and control issues that often stall change in education. With a leadership and change management approach for a top to bottom realignment of implementation strategies, OTC brings all stakeholders to the table with processes and measures that ensure engagement and accountability for performance. The systematic approach to design and implementation to ensure that the vision of legislative initiatives is recognizable at the school and classroom level.OTC first addresses all known root causes of failure. This sets the stage for understanding of the real problems to solve, defines a path forward and enables dramatic improvements in student achievement. The solution was developed by a multidisciplinary team of experts with decades of K-12 experience. What is the main difference between OTC and other approaches? The answer is simple. We have actually done what we are proposing to do many or hundreds of times. We are not a think tank.
