The Maturity Assessment helps education leaders understand exactly where they stand and what it takes to move forward. We conduct this assessment together in a 1-hour Vision Meeting.
Self-assessments are easy to game and hard to interpret. The real value isn't in a score. It's in the conversation that reveals where your schools truly stand.
In a 1-hour Vision Meeting, we'll:
This isn't a sales pitch disguised as an assessment. We'll share our honest perspective, and you'll leave with clarity about your next steps, whether or not they include us.
How deeply has your leadership prioritized adolescent literacy as a strategic imperative, not just a program to fund?
Do you have dedicated roles focused on literacy transformation, or is it "everyone's job" (which means no one's job)?
What's the honest truth about how many minutes per week your struggling readers actually spend practicing?
Are you measuring coverage and compliance, or engagement and growth? Do you know which students have checked out?
Are your literacy tools working together toward acceleration, or do you have a graveyard of unused licenses?
Are teachers being trained to support motivated learners, or to enforce compliance with unmotivated ones?
Understand whether your school system is Complicit, Committed, Re-definer, or Co-creator, and what that means for your options.
Every stage has a trap that keeps school systems stuck. We'll name yours and show what breaking free looks like.
We'll tell you whether Shoelace is right for where you are. If you're not ready, we'd rather say so than waste your time.
"I expected a sales pitch. Instead, they showed me exactly where we were stuck and what we needed to do, even the parts that had nothing to do with their product."
