Whether your school needs targeted or comprehensive support or simply wants to keep improving, Cognia provides the expertise and perspective to help you extend your team’s capacity to further student success and improve outcomes for all.

Mindset

Growth mindset is seeing challenges or difficulties as opportunities to improve and learn—based on the idea that your intellect isn’t fixed. A growth mindset starts with leaders’ and teachers’ awareness of their own mindsets, the expectations they have for their learners, and the ways in which they help students develop knowledge and understanding of how their brains work.

Teaching and Learning

Gain a deeper understanding of classroom conditions and teacher practices that inspire students to learn and grow. Equity in education requires putting systems for curriculum, instruction, and assessment in place so that every learner is empowered to succeed.

Continuous Improvement

Inspire and ignite your leadership team to initiate and sustain transformational change. Institutions that adopt a continuous improvement mindset move toward equity and excellence for every learner. Leverage tools and support from Cognia to maximize the use of data and monitor the impact of improvement efforts.

STEM

Apply the Cognia STEM Standards and vital research-based best practices to create and sustain superior and equitable STEM programs. By embedding STEM education in your institution’s culture, you ensure that learners build important skills for future college and career readiness.

Through my years in the education field, I have slowly been learning more and more about school improvement. I have attended many conferences and sat in on school reviews. I am happy to state that the Cognia Impact Conference this year was by far the most educational conference I have been at. Attending this conference has given me the clarity I needed, and I left feeling like a weight was lifted off my shoulders!”

Cognia has been a pathfinder in our journey for continuous improvement. It taught us, leaders and faculty, how to make meaning out of data and use the results as a streamline that drives our decisions to ensure quality education to our students. Cognia helped us build a healthy and collaborative culture in the school community. Cognia is a story of real inspiration and empowerment.”
