Education
Education starts at birth and never ends. Public
Sector Consultants’ involvement in the education arena runs
the gamut from early childhood education through adult education.
We have worked with early childhood initiatives as well as with
community colleges and state/local agencies focused on skill building
among older residents.
Today’s challenging educational climate makes
the need for knowledgeable, practical, and timely counsel on education
issues essential. PSC has a broad understanding of education policy
issues and their effect on children, teachers and schools, government,
communities, and business.
For clients in the education arena, PSC provides
strategic counsel;
facilitates meetings and
hearings; coordinates meeting logistics; conducts original and
applied research and analysis; writes
reports; and conducts survey
research and focus groups for schools, state departments, and
other entities.
The range of our research is suggested by these examples:
- For two state departments, an evaluation of
Michigan’s charter schools
- For a statewide coalition, strategic planning
and facilitation services to further early childhood education
across the state
- For a state department, coordination of more
than 25 public meetings and hearings on proposed rule changes
- For local school districts, surveys conducted
via mail, telephone, and the Internet of district parents, community
members, and school staff
- For a university academic program, a comprehensive
evaluation of the program, its capital resources, and the economic
impact of the program on the surrounding community
- For several associations, a recurring statewide
survey of Michigan residents about their perceptions of the quality
of education in Michigan and education policy
- For a private university, roundtables with
faculty, senior administration, and board trustees on academic
restructuring
