HOW WE HELP
At McGowan Impact Consulting, we partner with school districts and education organizations to design, implement, and measure programs that create real impact. Whether you're launching a new initiative, refining an existing program, or evaluating outcomes, we provide data-driven insights and strategic solutions to ensure your efforts are intentional, effective, and sustainable.
Ensuring every initiative delivers real results
Too often, well-intended programs struggle because they lack clear success metrics, structured implementation, or measurable outcomes. We help school districts define what success looks like, track meaningful data, and ensure initiatives are making a measurable difference.
✔ Pre- and post-evaluation frameworks to assess effectiveness
✔ Data dashboards & reporting to track impact over time
✔ Stakeholder feedback tools to integrate educator, student, and community perspectives
✔ Strategic recommendations for sustaining and scaling programs
Ideal for: School districts, county offices of education, education nonprofits, grant-funded initiatives
