Our services include:
Learning Acceleration Support Opportunities (LASO) Grant Delivery and Additional Supports
MoakCasey is a TEA-approved provider for both planning and implementation grants in RLA and elementary and secondary Math. We have a proven track record of providing districts with customized care while ensuring that all required milestones are met.
Even if a district is not a recipient of a Strong Foundations grant, MoakCasey can provide training in:
- Research-Based Instructional Strategies (RBIS) in either RLA or math for teachers and leaders.
- MoakCasey can also support districts in the selection and deployment of High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM)
staffing analysis:
Strategic allocation of human capital resources – It’s more important than ever that Texas public schools utilize their human resources not only effectively, but efficiently. We can determine the extent to which your district is both effective and efficient. This analysis evaluates the formulas used to allocate FTE’s, scheduling efficiencies, comparability of class size, etc. and will provide a written report detailing the work and recommendations for continuous improvement.
strategic planning & performance management design
Strategy Alignment: Mindset, Framework, Tools – Our targeted approach to strategic planning produces a clear focus with a concise final product in the form of a Strategic Direction Balanced Scorecard that informs the Board (and community) how the district is progressing with its strategic plan and helps each faculty & staff member see how his/her daily work fits into the overall objectives.
Central Office Departmental Analysis
Build the Systems. Align the Support. Strengthen the Outcomes – District improvement requires more than strong campus plans—it requires aligned central office systems, leadership coherence, clear communication, and trust. This service evaluates how central office departments support campuses, students, and district priorities while identifying opportunities to strengthen effectiveness and alignment.
Risk Load Analysis
“Measure twice, cut once.” – Stephen Covey – District leaders know there is a complex set of factors converging on districts and schools that can make it challenging to teach all students to high levels of rigor. This tool provides actionable intelligence that equips district and campus leaders to systematically identify powerful solutions. By merging a variety of data sources including PEIMS, the American Community Survey census data, and district-supplied data, educators receive information that empowers leaders to make intentional and informed decisions to target funding, personnel and instructional efforts in strategically addressing student needs.
NQS subscription
Cost-effective, just-in-time training and support – The NQS (Network of Quality Schools) subscription is a collaboration of school districts and administrators seeking to sustain long-term continuous improvement using a Performance Management Framework.
New Superintendent Coaching
Start Strong. Lead Well. Succeed Long-Term – Providing confidential, year-long support to help new superintendents start strong. The service includes in-district visits and monthly coaching focused on governance, communication, staffing, finance, and crisis leadership—reducing early missteps, strengthening board alignment, and increasing long-term superintendent success, and protecting the board’s leadership investment during transition periods.
Board training (eiso & team of eight)
Performance-focused Governance: Value Driven, Data Informed – Our authorized service providers offer customized training aligned to TEA’s Framework for School Board Development and is focused on team trust, good governance, and student outcomes. We provide tools for the Board to exercise its statutory requirement of oversight of management.
academic data review
Data-driven findings – MoakCasey experts examine a wide array of data in the context of enrollment and demographic trends, including a comparative analysis of district and campus STAAR and EOC assessment data in relation to peer districts. A College and Career Readiness Snapshot encompasses college enrollment data and an ACT/SAT analysis. A Summary of Key Findings provides Recommendations to position the district for future success.
