With ESSER funds ending soon and a fiscal cliff and economic downturn looming, how is your district ensuring resources are optimally deployed to maximize student outcomes?

DMGroup’s Academic-ROI Institute is an in-depth professional development program that builds your district team’s capacity to analyze and assess programs and initiatives to determine what works best for which students and at what cost.

This program is intended for district finance and academic leadership and anyone focused on ensuring resources are utilized for maximum impact.

This hands-on approach will equip you with knowledge and skills to successfully and sustainability evaluate future district programming.

Your team will learn a methodology that will provide answers to the following questions:

• Which programs are achieving the intended outcomes?
• Which students are benefiting most from a given program?
• How cost-effective is each program?

............................................................................................

"Academic-ROI is now built into the way we have our budget conversations with our leadership team, our bargaining units, and our Board of Education." 

- Dr. Mike Patton, Superintendent, Saratoga Springs City School District (NY)

What is Academic-ROI?

DMGroup has developed an approach called Academic Return on Investment to measure the benefits (determined by student outcomes per student segment) and fully-loaded costs of individual programs.

Based on this data, the district can assess and compare programs and consider which to expand, maintain, target to specific segments of the student population, or sunset.
