"Co-nect gets us on track with our state standards,
benchmarks
and curriculum. Co-nect is good stuff for our teachers and
makes
sense."

Since 1992, Co-nect has collaborated with schools and districts to
improve student achievement. We are a professional development
organization dedicated to helping educators and administrators build the
capacity needed to improve and sustain achievement for all students.
Our resources include a nationwide staff of education professionals who
work onsite with faculty and are supported by a suite of online learning
modules, diagnostic tools, and teacher resources.
Co-nect was founded in 1992 by members of the Educational
Technologies Group at Bolt, Beranek and Newman, a research and
development firm in Cambridge, MA. The group was formed in response to a
call for proposals from a newly formed Washington, DC-based nonprofit
group called the New American Schools Development Corporation (NASDC).
The mission of NASDC was to foster school designs that would help local
communities create "break-the-mold" schools using replicable strategies
that could then be leveraged to help improve educational achievement for
students nationwide.
Today, Co-nect has grown from a small R&D project to a
national
organization providing school improvement services in more
than
300 schools spanning 145 districts and 33 states.
