The education sector has taken great strides over the past few decades. But millions of students across the United States still have limited access to high quality educational opportunities. Many organizations are working together to overcome this great challenge.   Schools and student support service providers are working to raise student achievement and prepare graduates for post-secondary opportunities.  Corporations, foundations and school support service providers are partnering with schools and innovative nonprofits to strengthen communities and build the talent pipeline.

But are they making a difference?  Mission Measurement helps organizations measure and improve their impact.  Using an outcomes-based approach, we partner with organizations to strengthen their strategies and help them measure and communicate their performance.  The Education team works with organizations to address challenges such as:

Education Providers

• How do we ensure that our programs are designed to advance the student outcomes we value?
• How do we measure student readiness for postsecondary success?
• How do we communicate our impact to funders, policy makers and other key stakeholders?

Education Funders

• How do we determine which organizations and programs to fund?
• How do we analyze the performance of our grant partners? 
• How do we communicate our impact to the board?

To address these questions and others, Mission Measurement partners with organizations to develop program strategies, measure performance, and report results to stakeholders.

Strategy engagements include working with organizations to clearly articulate the impact they seek to produce.  Our outcomes-based approach allows organizations to assess the alignment of their existing programs with their goals and adopt innovative approaches for creating their desired impact.  With Mission Measurement’s guidance, organizations develop a clear picture of what they want to achieve and how they will get there.

Impact Measurement helps organizations develop pragmatic solutions to measurement and evaluation. We develop key performance indicators and implement a sustainable data collection process.  By integrating measurement into organizational processes and culture, Mission Measurement helps organizations make data-driven decisions.

Performance Reporting helps organizations provide information to key audiences when and how they need it.  We identify the burning questions of organizational stakeholders and produce effective dashboards, scorecards and reports to answer them.  Through strong performance reporting, organizations can more clearly communicate their impact and secure increased funding and support.
