Schools That Lead, an innovative education-focused organization, is making strides in boosting grades and the graduation success rate in North Carolina through science-backed strategies to keeping students on-track. They approach school management through the application of improvement science tools. With a mission to empower educators, Schools That Lead is a team of former teachers, administrators, and non-profit leaders dedicated to advancing equitable education in America’s schools.

Led by President and CEO Dana C. Diesel, the team at Schools That Lead is committed to providing educators with the essential improvement science tools required to address complex challenges in the classroom. By offering comprehensive courses and support, the organization aims to foster a culture of academic excellence, ensuring every student learns powerfully.

The impact of Schools That Lead’s approach is evident in the organization’s partnerships with North Carolina K-13 district and charter schools. Through Networked Improvement Communities (NIC), Schools That Lead facilitates collaboration among educators, utilizing proven strategies to reduce early warning indicators for attendance, behavior, and course performance.

“Our goal is to intervene early, ensuring that every student is on track for success,” says Dana C. Diesel.

The organization’s success is validated by an independent three-year evaluation conducted by Dr. Julie T. Marks at the Education Policy Initiative at Carolina (UNC-EPIC), which highlighted the effectiveness of Schools That Lead’s NIC model in addressing issues like chronic absenteeism and poor course performance.

Schools That Lead’s impact currently extends to approximately 30,000 K-12 students in North Carolina. The organization has successfully increased graduation rates above the state average and demonstrating a commitment to positive student outcomes.

Education leaders interested in joining Schools That Lead’s school improvement network can access proven improvement science strategies based on the unique needs of a school. By harnessing short-cycle, actionable data, educators can accelerate student success at the classroom level, implement across the rest of a school, and then scale classroom management solutions across the school district.
