But we're not just committed. We're doing it. Learn about our impact here. We were founded in 1995 as the Bay Area School Reform Collaborative (BASRC). Since that time we have worked in hundreds of schools in dozens of school districts throughout California. Our clients include urban, suburban and rural school districts both large and small. We offer our clients and partners four kinds of help. Our research department provides access to ideas, tools and materials from the high performing, high poverty schools and districts we study. Springboard Schools' professional development services provide high-impact learning opportunities. And Springboard Schools' District Partner program gives districts the opportunity to contract for on-site coaching that helps ensure that new solutions actually get implemented. Our tools and resources include a full menu of effective tools and services for improving schools . Springboard Schools clients know what they need to do to improve, why, and they receive on-site help on how. Few other organizations are as well- positioned to answer all three questions. In addition, Springboard Schools is a CDE-approved SAIT, DAIT and SB472 provider for elementary, middle, and high schools.Read More
