Most organizations doing innovative work in education are doing great work they can't prove. I help fix that.
Dr. Matt Borek / HB3 Consulting and Advisory
I work at an unusual intersection: nontraditional schools and cultural institutions. Both are scrappy, mission-driven, and perpetually under-resourced. Both struggle to translate what they do into evidence that funders, authorizers, and families can actually trust.
That's the problem I've spent two decades learning to solve, through program evaluation, curriculum strategy, research design, and strategic planning. And more recently, through direct support for the families trying to navigate the systems these organizations operate in.
If you're doing work worth measuring, let's talk about how to measure it.
Services
FOR ORGANIZATIONS
Program Evaluation & Research
Design and implement qualitative and quantitative evaluation to measure impact, strengthen programs, and support strategic decisions.
Curriculum & Learning Design
Standards-aligned, place-based, and experiential learning design for schools, cultural institutions, and statewide initiatives.
Policy & Strategic Advising
Research, analysis, policy briefings, and strategic planning support for agencies, nonprofits, and education organizations.
FOR FAMILIES
Data-Driven School Choice Session
Navigate school performance data, compare options, and choose a schooling path with clarity and confidence.
A 1:1 session to help you interpret school performance data, translate confusing metrics like growth vs. proficiency, compare options, identify strengths, trade-offs, and marketing signals, and focus on fit for your child or learner, not just rankings.
You’ll leave with a clear, research-based decision framework tailored to your child.
FOR NONTRADITIONAL SCHOOLS
Document & Accreditation Review
Applying for approval, accreditation, or launch funding? Get a strategic, reviewer-style read of your application or program materials.
Learn how your model will be interpreted by decision-makers, identify where your case is strong and where it needs strengthening, and avoid preventable delays or misunderstandings.
You’ll leave with clear, prioritized guidance on what to revise, elevate, or leave as-is.
