Curriculum, Policy, and Assessment Support for the Education Sector
Strengthen your project with expertise.
Your innovative idea has the potential to transform education. Hopefully.
State agencies, non-profits, school founders, and cultural institutions face immense pressure to innovate swiftly. And there are historical pressures that make education change challenging, complex, and slow. This tension inevitably leads to rushed solutions, repetition of past failed initiatives, or a loss of faith between the field of education and the general public.
With the education reform landscape evolving rapidly, it's imperative to move beyond the status quo and lead with innovation.
I'm Matt Borek, bringing over 20 years of experience in education policy and reform, with both theoretical and practical expertise in large-scale educational change. I'm here to guide your initiatives to success.

Services Offered
Background Research
Enhance your projects, proposals, and initiatives with comprehensive, relevant research reviews. I offer services including landscape analyses, literature reviews, environmental scans, policy briefs, and comprehensive 50-state scans to build the robust research foundation your project requires.
Strategic Planning & Advising
Data Collection and Analysis
Senior leaders can gain valuable insights from facilitated ideation sessions at a project's inception. Developing a clear theory of action and a draft logic model establishes a solid plan, streamlining subsequent efforts.
Extensive research underscores the critical importance of meaningful stakeholder engagement. I assist in identifying key stakeholders, organizing convenings, developing agendas, preparing materials, and facilitating sessions.
Strong metrics and high-quality analysis are pivotal when preparing grant responses, gathering partner information, planning project implementation, or developing evaluation plans.
I offer services such as reviewing proposed metrics for alignment with project goals, designing original data collection instruments - including surveys and interview/focus group protocols - and analyzing survey results or qualitative data to extract broader insights. Whether you require descriptive statistics of survey responses, personas and journey maps to capture stakeholder perspectives, or coded qualitative data conclusions, I bring extensive experience in mixed methods analysis and reporting.
Curriculum and Policy Support
The field of education reform is increasingly crowded. Emerging schooling models are expanding, new institutions are becoming more involved in daily school operations, and state agencies are poised to assume significant new responsibilities as the federal role in education diminishes. This period also presents opportunities for cultural institutions and non-profits.
I offer support in curriculum mapping, program development, compliance reporting, and presenting your reform ideas, helping to elevate your initiatives to the next level.
