District and school leaders are charged with the enormous responsibility of providing students with the resources they need to succeed in school and beyond amidst an unprecedented level of challenges. To achieve this, they must be not only great educators but also great managers.
For the last two decades, we have helped hundreds of school districts across the U.S. strengthen internal capacity and achieve measurable, sustainable improvements in student outcomes, operational efficiency, and resource allocation.
At DMGroup, we leverage a multi-pronged approach that includes consulting, professional development, coaching, software solutions, and a membership program to tackle common system-level challenges across our nation’s public school districts. Our approach is informed by management principles, research-based best practices, and insights gathered from working with hundreds of districts across the country.
We help districts strengthen internal capacity and make improvements that have a lasting impact on student achievement and school performance.
DMGroup Purpose and Values
District Management Group was founded on the belief that best-in-class management techniques combined with education best practices are key to addressing and solving the challenges faced by our public schools.
Our shared purpose
Our team at District Management Group is united in our mission to make a difference for our nation’s students. In partnership with districts, we seek to help effect measurable and sustainable improvements to help all students thrive in school and in their lives beyond school.
Our values
At DMGroup, our values are grounded in support of a goal to bring about lasting improvement in public education.
Partnership - We get to know our partner district’s unique history, context, and culture and gain a deep quantitative and qualitative understanding so that we can work alongside your leadership team to help identify the right solutions and tailor implementation for long-term success.
Impact - We seek to help school districts achieve measurable and sustainable improvement, and our work does not end with delivering a report. If desired, we provide implementation support. For us, the measure of success is client satisfaction and real results for students and schools.
Collaboration - We believe we know more together than we do alone. This is why we draw on best practices from the education sector, proven management techniques in the private sector and public sector, and the collective knowledge of our nationwide network of school districts.
Equity and Inclusiveness - We know that equity and inclusiveness make us stronger. We unequivocally commit to making sure this belief shines through in our work, both by ensuring our recommendations are equity-oriented and by continuing to create a more inclusive environment within our own organization guided by our equity statement.
Systems Thinking - We believe true and enduring solutions require a broad, holistic approach to achieve coherence and alignment. We deliver systems-level solutions that align with your strategic priorities and position you to bring about transformational improvement.
