West Wind Education Policy – West Wind Education Policy

West Wind Education Policy Inc. builds the capacity of education leaders to imagine and enact a PK-12 education system that overcomes historic and persistent inequities and engages each and every child in learning.

Policy

We analyze federal, state, and local education policies to help leaders ensure policies and practices support learning and teaching for all children, and promote positive organizational change.

Equity

We provide customized supports to help schools, districts, communities, and states across the country achieve equitable outcomes, with a particular focus on racial equity.

Growth

We offer a full menu of professional development and coaching services, using andragogy (adult learning), distributed practice, and standards for staff development to guide our work.

"This was the best professional development -- I don't even want to call it professional development -- this was one of the best experiences I have ever had."

"The courage of the district team and West Wind facilitators was extraordinary. Very valuable session with ‘real life’ example that was allowed to play out in ‘real time.’"
