Stakeholder Input Increases Impact

The Center for Collaborative Education (CCE) promotes purposeful learning and small, caring communities in K-12 public schools, with a focus on educational equity. IISC worked with CCE staff to design and facilitate a process to gather broad stakeholder input and ultimately craft a reorganized collaborative team structure and decision-making model to better align with the shifting nature of its work as defined by revenue streams and new approaches to partnering with schools. In addition, IISC modeled and trained staff in collaborative leadership techniques.


  • IISC facilitated a reorganization process of teaming structures, staffing assignments, and decision making processes for our organization. We now have a reorganized structure that meets the changing needs of the work we face, while most importantly building a more collaborative staff culture.

  • IISC’s training, facilitation, strategic planning and other services have helped us build partnerships, master the skills needed to maintain those partnerships, and develop the organizational structures we need. Without their help, it would have been difficult, if not impossible to do what we’ve done in the time that we’ve done it.
