As postsecondary enrollment rates continue to drop across the country, systems leaders are grappling with how to close equity gaps by increasing college and career opportunities for students. Building on the success we’ve had working with students, educators, and system leaders for 15 years, OneGoal created a leadership network developed specifically for school and district leaders.
Together, we can reimagine postsecondary leadership in your district—and take outcomes to the next level. Join a supportive community of experts and peers. Assess your district’s readiness. Define a path to high-impact improvements that’s tailored to your needs. And move forward with expert guidance—every step of the way. The end result is system-level improvements that lead to better student outcomes.

With OneGoal we can see our students’ progression after they leave high school. I love numbers and data, and we’re gathering information to help drive our instruction. The timing of this partnership is perfect, because the vision-setting work puts our district in a forward-thinking position as we head into the summer.

ISBE sponsoring the opportunity to partner with OneGoal, coupled with the timing of our new vision and roadmap for the district, made a timely match. OneGoal’s curriculum and student achievement goals align well with our roadmap and their outside perspective and validation have been great assets. Our partnership has given us tools to approach and solve some of our difficult challenges.

When you join the OneGoal Leadership Network you’ll embark on a three-year year path to improvement. Our experts assess your district’s postsecondary readiness, engage leadership through a supportive community of peers and experts, and guide you every step of the way.
We prioritize solutions that ensure students, regardless of demographics, are able to realize their postsecondary aspirations, whether pursuing a college degree, trade program, or other postsecondary pathway.
We listen to leaders to build trust and align with their strategic priorities, allowing us to focus our approach and address each school and district’s diverse needs towards postsecondary planning and solutions.
We build and implement strong data collection systems that lead to insights and inform tailored strategies specific to your district.
We aim for our work to feel locked in step with your existing systems, establishing strategies that create long-lasting positive impact while honoring your team’s capacity and workload.
We’ve worked with districts of all sizes to strengthen their overall postsecondary readiness. Learn how our coaches help partners define a path to high-impact improvements.
While your district works directly with a single OneGoal coach, you’re accessing a deep network of diverse leadership and expertise. Our coaching team’s strategic insights are fueled from extensive hands-on experience as former school and district leaders.
With the right knowledge and skill development, school leaders can play a pivotal role in promoting college and career readiness. Our experts in postsecondary readiness have compiled the tools you need to develop strong school leaders and determine which leadership development opportunities are worth the investment.
Learn how your district can create equitable system-level change and grow student access to strong college and career planning resources through the OneGoal Leadership Network.
To ensure student success, districts must establish a vision for postsecondary support. When they build a vision for postsecondary support that permeates the entire district — including administrators, school leaders, teachers, community members, students, and more — real impact happens.
Districts complete the application process in three steps:
We are not here to create new work for you. Rather, our team helps leaders organize, strengthen, and create coherence across their existing postsecondary readiness work. Our coaching team of former school and district leaders has sat in your seat and know how to provide thought partnership and collaboration to help focus and elevate your work.
Typically, we work with principals, assistant principals, counselors and district level leaders such as Assistant Superintendents, Executive Directors/Directors of Secondary or Student Services.
We generally ask teams for a commitment of approximately four hours per month to meet with our coaching team and another 2-3 hours every other month to participate in our cross-district communities of practice spaces. Zoom fatigue is real and so our team is committed to showing up in person to ~50% of touchpoints.
