Progress in Action

We help people learn through the work itself. Our approach connects a clear purpose with practical action and shared learning.

Step 01

Clarity

Name the work.

Define the challenge and what progress would look like.

Step 02

Action

Test assumptions.

Try a focused change with the people doing the work.

Step 03

Reflection

Learn from the evidence.

Review what happened and decide what to adjust.

Step 04

Connect

Amplify learning.

Share what you learn and draw on relationships for insight, support, and opportunity.

Throughout the process, we create space for people to contribute, question assumptions, and shape decisions together.

Our work in practice

In practice

A partner for the work that matters most

School improvement is not a single initiative. It is the ongoing work of making better decisions, testing what works, and building the leadership capacity to sustain progress.

Since 2022, sharEDtalent has partnered with P.S. 28 Mount Hope in the Bronx to turn improvement priorities into focused action. Together, we have used continuous improvement to strengthen instructional practice and school culture while developing assistant principals' capacity to lead the work forward.

During the partnership, math proficiency increased from 39.2% in 2023 to 48.8% in 2026.

Let's talk about the improvement you want to lead at your school.
