Question 1

Is Collaborative Learning Solutions a national consulting firm?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We serve K-12 schools and districts nationwide. Whether you are in a state where we are a pre-approved vendor or looking to start a new partnership, our team is ready to provide tailored solutions for your community.

Question 2

How does Collaborative Learning Solutions customize services for different LEA needs?

Accepted Answer

At CLS, we don't believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach. We begin every partnership by meeting you where you are, conducting a deep-dive assessment of your LEA’s unique culture, challenges, and goals. Whether you need a multi-year systemic overhaul or targeted workshops for staff, we co-design a roadmap that aligns with your strategic plan, ensuring our support feels like an extension of your own team.

Question 3

What makes Collaborative Learning Solutions unique?

Accepted Answer

We are thought partners, not just service providers. While traditional consultants offer "off-the-shelf" programs, we co-create strategies tailored to your LEA’s specific DNA. We stand apart through three key pillars:
1. District-Level Systems Focus: We move beyond "band-aid" fixes to create sustainable, scalable change across your entire system.
2. Practitioner-Led Insight: Our team consists of former teachers and administrators who bring real-world experience to every conversation.
3. Culture & Climate Connectors: We act as a bridge, linking people and proven practices to improve the environment where your students and staff work every day.

Question 4

Do you provide in-person support, or is your consulting done virtually?

Accepted Answer

Both! We offer a flexible, hybrid approach. While we love being on-site for deep-dive assessments and hands-on workshops, we also provide virtual coaching, webinars, and digital resources to ensure your team has support whenever they need it.

Question 5

How is the investment for a partnership determined?

Accepted Answer

Because our services are co-designed to meet the unique needs of your LEA, pricing is customized. The investment varies based on the scope of the project and the level of support required. We work closely with your leadership to build a proposal that maximizes your budget, often leveraging federal and state funding (see our Funding Sources (https://www.clsteam.net/funding-sources)page) to ensure the highest possible impact for your students, staff, and school community as a whole.

Question 6

What funding sources (like Title I or IDEA) can be used for your services?

Accepted Answer

Our services are designed to be eligible for various federal and state funding streams. Because funding requirements vary by state and initiative, we have created a comprehensive guide (https://www.clsteam.net/funding-sources)to help you navigate your options.

Question 7

Our LEA has a specific challenge, how do we start a conversation with Collaborative Learning Solutions?
