EDUCATION VISIONING
ACCELERATING INNOVATION THROUGH COLLABORATION
RETHINK TRADITIONAL STRATEGIC PLANNING
The evolving demands of the educational landscape require a shift from traditional strategic planning to more dynamic, inclusive, and impact-driven approaches. The Think Tank model offers a promising alternative capable of fostering innovation and responsiveness in educational institutions. By embracing this new paradigm, educators and administrators can better meet the needs of their communities and prepare for the challenges of the future.
CASE STUDY: GRADED THINK TANK 2.0
GRADED - THE AMERICAN SCHOOL OF SÃO PAULO
The following case study highlights how Education Accelerated empowers educational communities worldwide to build momentum and scale for positive, lasting innovation. Our ongoing partnership with Graded – The American School of São Paulo exemplifies this commitment. Together, we have designed, facilitated, and implemented the 2024 Think Tank, an initiative that has already delivered demonstrable results for students, faculty, and parents. This work is not just about one school’s progress; it’s about creating replicable systems and practices that can be adapted, scaled, and shared across the broader educational sector. We believe that true innovation flourishes when insights are exchanged and communities work together to reimagine what education can be. We’re excited to share our reflections and invite you to explore how this approach might benefit your community. Let’s build the future of education—together.
CASE STUDY: AAIE GLOBAL THINK TANK
The American Association of International Education Global Think Tank brought together a diverse group of international school leaders, systems thinkers, and educators for a transformative, in-person experience centered around future-oriented leadership. Through a carefully designed process grounded in human-centered principles, participants engaged in courageous conversations, shared bold questions, and co-constructed solutions aimed at reimagining education. This photo captures a reflective moment of deep dialogue, illustrating the collaborative spirit and collective wisdom that emerged as attendees navigated uncertainty together and committed to shaping more just, adaptive, and student-centered learning ecosystems.​

At Education Accelerated, we are experts in bringing together educators, administrators, students, families, and communities to shape the most impactful programs for our education partners. Our Fusion Framework is ideally suited for both acceleration and scale as we work together to broaden and deepen the impact of education programs focused on the advancement of teaching and learning. We term our engagement model Fusion because, in this context, the concept signifies the deliberate blending of diverse ideas, perspectives, and disciplines to drive both innovation and sustainable success. Our research-based alignment method has been honed over decades for both efficiency and effectiveness while working with some of the most innovative educational organizations and initiatives.
Working together, we are confident that we will leverage our Fusion process as a catalyst for transformative growth that will propel a new era of education forward in the mission to accelerate academic achievement, foster equity, and cultivate growth mindsets, of all students.
