Empowering educational communities to create brighter futures for students.
Bringing people together to articulate an effective and motivational path forward for all students.
The right educational strategy includes tapping into both the head and heart to create transformational positive change. With so many caring individuals within the educational setting wanting to make experiences better for students, identifying the best way to articulate and measure success is critically important.
We help teams of educators, parents, students, and administrators identify the most important objectives to achieve for the future, how to get there, and how to hold ourselves accountable so we can celebrate successes and learn from challenges.
Using data where appropriate, alongside lived experience
Data can help us to better understand academic participation and performance in large-scale ways that help to promote innovation and improvement. Data and analyses can be used as additional input alongside the lived experience of educators, students, parents, and administrators to identify what works, what doesn’t work, and how to maximize the potential of evey student.
Assessing the quality of programs to ensure they’re enriching the lives of young people as intended
We support educational communities in identifying programs intended to improve the lives of young people, and measure how well and to what extent they are doing so.
“With the support from JLEDS Consulting, we were able to create a vision, mission statement, and set of values for our school district that truly embody what we’re all about.”
— Jerry P., District Superintendent
“If you need someone who can fluently talk about, and fluidly switch between broad organizational and data strategy at the 10,000 foot level and specific, in-the-weeds measurement questions, look no further than Jim Lauckhardt. Jim’s ability to combine research, data, and evaluation in service to organizational and practice improvement is tremendous and a sure benefit to his clients.” - Bill D., National Nonprofit Leader
Jim was a consultant with my school district for over a year, and he was able to provide amazing support that helped us define and act on a high-quality data strategy. He was able to use best-in-class approaches to research, evaluation, and planning while also tailoring them to our district's needs. I would absolutely recommend Jim to any district looking for strategic planning help, data analytic support, or any type of educational evaluation project!" - Julianna H., School Network Leader
