Three ways to work with Student Outcomes Lab
01
Find the Transformational Lever
Academic Systems Diagnostic
We start with a conversation. Then you share your historical outcome data and academic system— assessments, scope and sequences, coaching tools. We analyze system stability, identify where variation is coming from, and pinpoint the highest-leverage place to intervene. You leave with a clear diagnosis, a concrete recommendation with a perspective, and one or two high-leverage levers that will actually move student outcomes.
For network academic leaders who sense their system may be contributing to underperformance but need an outside perspective to connect the dots and chart a clear path forward.
02
Build the System That Delivers
Outcomes Partnership
For networks ready to do the real work. We design or redesign your system architecture and build the tools that make it real — assessments, scope and sequences, coaching frameworks — because the architecture and the tools have to work together or neither works. We stay in it with you through on-site visits, ongoing CAO support, and real-time iteration as the system meets the complexity of your context. This isn't about installing someone else's framework as-is. It's about making proven practices work in your specific context so they become proven for you. By the end of the year your team has a system they own, the capacity to run it, and measurable movement in results.
For networks stepping into transformation with leadership ready to do the work.
03
Develop the Leaders Who Sustain It
CAO Coaching and Development
The Chief Academic Officer role is one of the least defined and most pressured seats in education. The expectations are enormous, the path is rarely clear, and most leaders figure it out alone. CAO coaching and development from Student Outcomes Lab isn’t abstract leadership development. It’s performance coaching from someone who has held the seat and understands the tensions, the pressure, and what it actually takes to drive outcomes. Throughout the development experiences, CAOs get clear on their roles and responsibilities, build the skills to own it, and feel supported in one of the hardest jobs in your network.
For CAOs, CSOs, and network academic leaders- particularly those new to the seat, transitioning to a new organization, or leading systems through deep transformation.
