SKIP

Our focus is first and foremost on children and families. We care about the well-being of the whole student: social, emotional, physical, and academic. We seek to meet the needs of children and families across our region's schools... We strive to create an environment of high trust and transparency with our partners. We are a learning organization, so when we make mistakes (which we will), we are quick to own them and work to amend them... Efforts to improve education are many times short-term, can make things worse, or are unsustainable over time. SKIP began in 2017 with a goal to work differently. We sought out to listen to and design with children, their families, and educators through a feedback lens to identify how the system is structured and areas of leverage to foster long-term equity in education. SKIP's expertise in school social work, social emotional learning, youth development, and system dynamics roots us in rigorous and compassionate research and design.
