The District Contract Accelerator is an opportunity for your district to accelerate the design and launch of a high-quality outcomes based contract aligned to the Standards of Excellence for Outcomes Based Contracting™.

This execution-focused experience provides structured workshops, individualized coaching, and practical tools to move districts from strategy to signed contract within an accelerated timeline. Participants will design an outcomes based contract for either high-dosage tutoring or an edtech instructional intervention and prepare for implementation during the upcoming school year.


Districts should apply with an identified provider partner and a committed cross-functional team ready to move from intention to execution.


If your district is ready to take bold steps toward measurable student results and strengthen provider partnerships through outcomes based contracting, we encourage you to apply.


Spots are limited. Apply today.
