How Our Process Works

  • Schedule a Scoping Call

    You tell us what you’re looking for. We build out a custom project scope and share it with a curated list of providers.

  • Review Your Provider Options

    You compare proposals from interested providers and decide who you want to interview.

    We manage the details for you.

  • Select a Provider

    You choose the right provider for your project and get started.

    We check-in during the project and capture your feedback once the project is completed.

About the Catalyst:Ed Network

The Catalyst:Ed Provider Network is a coalition of 750+ mission-aligned organizations and individuals with deep experience working with and supporting schools and systems and expertise across areas relevant to schools, systems, and other education organizations. Providers range from national and regional organizations (incl. nonprofits that offer technical assistance services, consulting firms, and research organizations) to independent consultants. All network members go through a rigorous three-step vetting process (applications, interviews, references).

How does the feedback and review process work?

At the project midpoint and once a project is completed, we ask both parties to provide feedback and review their experiences on the project. The feedback is shared with the counterparty. Providers who propose for projects have the option of sharing their past feedback with prospective clients, although we do not require them to do so. We also ask both parties to review their experiences with Catalyst:Ed, so we can get better at serving our network.
