Transformational change - worldwide
• In 2000, UK Government invited Cambridge Education to provide
education support services to the London Borough of Islington
• It was the lowest performing district in the UK
• In one year The Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted) noted
rapidly transformed relationships with schools
• In 2000, 13 of Islington’s schools were judged by Ofsted to either
be in need of special measures, or to have serious weaknesses
• In 2009 Islington had no schools in special measures or with a
notice to improve and 82% of schools were judged good or better
by Ofsted, more than one in five had an outstanding rating

Human Capacity Development
One of our core principles is to expand the capacity of all organization we work
with.
Expanding leadership capacity and professional development is the critical issue
facing states, districts, CMOs and schools today.
In order to leverage and sustain improvement, schools will need to:
find ways to strengthen teaching and learning,
expand and improve professional development,
utilize data to inform and improve instruction, and
engage stakeholders.
Through a reflective and ethical balancing of priorities focused on improving
student achievement for all students in order to secure a viable 21st century and
beyond

Our Programs and Services
Effective Classroom Observation
The Tripod Project
• Operated by Cambridge Education through a partnership with Ron
Ferguson of Harvard University
• Committed to strengthening all three legs of the Tripod
Content, Pedagogy, and Relationships
• Uses student and teacher surveys to collect data and analyze school
climate, classroom conditions, and student engagement
• Provides the Tripod Project’s conceptual framework to support school
improvement efforts
Academic Success for all Students
Improved student performance depends on strengthening
three legs of an
instructional tripod:
Content
What should we
teach? Does each
teacher have deep
knowledge of the
curriculum?
Relationships
Pedagogy
How should we teach? Does
each teacher use effective
instructional techniques?
Are we a community? Do
students and teachers care
about, inspire, and motivate
each other?
21st Century Skills - Personalization by
Pieces
PbyP provides a structure
by which learners set their
own targets and then
choose how to complete
their work and provide
evidence of their
achievement.
The PbyP model supports
learners to assess and
mentor each other as they
work towards their goals.
