Partner With Us
Making Champions of Change partners with schools, districts, and organizations to sustain meaningful work. Every partnership is grounded in the adult learning framework and the Five Pillars of Lasting Change.
This is not about adding one more thing. It is about strengthening the system beneath the work your team is already carrying.


How to Choose
Each partnership meets a different priority, moment, and level of readiness.
If your team needs an honest read on current conditions before choosing, adding, or accelerating a direction, start with the Comprehensive Needs Assessment.
If your leaders would grow fastest alongside peers carrying similar work, join a Professional Learning Network.
If your organization is ready to turn field insight into a fundable innovative project, the Leadership Laboratory is the path.
Unsure which fits? That is exactly what the Partnership Discovery Call is for.
The Partnerships
Three things shape everything MCC does: the people we work with, the ecosystem we build around them, and the method that keeps us accountable to it.


Comprehensive Needs Assessment
Best for: teams that want an in-depth read on their current reality before choosing, adding or accelerating a direction.
The Comprehensive Needs Assessment gives your team a structured look at the conditions, data, priorities, capacity, and system patterns shaping the work. MCC helps surface what is getting in the way, what strengths can be built on, and what needs to be in place before your team carries one more thing.
You leave with a shared picture of your system and grounded recommendations for what comes next.


Professional Learning Network
Best for: leaders who seek shared learning, practical tools, and peer connection while carrying real implementation work.
The Professional Learning Network gives leaders a facilitated space to Reflect. Connect. Grow. alongside peers facing similar challenges. Grounded in MCC playbooks, research-backed tools, and the Five Pillars of Lasting Change, each session helps leaders make sense of current conditions, strengthen practice, build capacity, and apply the work to their own context.


Leadership Laboratory
Best for: districts and organizations ready for MCC's deepest partnership.
The Leadership Laboratory helps districts and organizations turn what leaders, staff, students, or partners are experiencing into a coherent innovation project. MCC helps surface field insight, organize what the system is communicating, shape a project your team believes in, and align a funding strategy to carry the work forward.
You leave with a fundable project concept and the story, structure, and implementation logic needed to move from idea to action.
For Consultants and Organizations
The partnerships on this page are for schools, districts, and organizations bringing MCC into their work.
If you are a consultant, implementation leader, facilitator, researcher, evaluator, or partner organization whose work strengthens leaders and systems in education, there is a different path for you: joining MCC’s vetted network as a Change Expert.
Change Experts facilitate learning networks, contribute specialized expertise to funded projects, and MCC extend high-integrity support into systems with real needs.
Network relationships form around actual district and organizational work, so the best first step is a conversation.


How Partnerships Begin
The Partnership Discovery Call is a conversation about your system, your people, and what feels stuck. MCC listens for the conditions surrounding the work, the capacity your team needs, and the entry point that makes the most sense.
You leave with a clear recommendation, whether that is one of the partnerships above or a lighter resource from the Leadership Knowledge Commons. If we are a fit, we follow up with a proposal scoped to your system, timeline, and capacity.
Start the Conversation
Bring us the initiative that will not hold, the problem your team keeps circling, or the change you want to fund. MCC will help you name what the system is communicating and identify the right next step.
