We launched the Improvement Challenge on January 14th to give you the opportunity to win up to $20,000 in consulting services from an expert consultant of your choice through the Catalyst:Ed network.

Whether you’re focusing on social-emotional learning, family and community engagement, or changing protocols and learning environments due to COVID-19, we believe that continuous improvement practices provide rigor and structure that promotes innovative thinking. Entry into the Improvement Challenge is simple and would require you to log back in to complete a new project listing form starting on January 14. To learn more about eligibility requirements and how to enter, check out the challenge FAQs.
