The alignment system for student-centered success.
Reduce leadership noise and ensure decisions consistently serve students, without replacing existing structures.
Misalignment is a root cause of overwhelm in educational administration.
In most school systems, leadership values are shared, but goals and behavior aren’t aligned. This causes work overload, burnout, and ultimately keeps students from the center of the decisions.
Siloed Decisions
When there is confusion around the common goal, those making decisions often do so without thinking (or understanding) how those decisions affect the school or administration as a whole.
Burnt Out Leadership Teams
Confusion around Accountability
It's hard to take ownership of unclear goals. If people are confused and misaligned with the long term goals, they're less likely to own decision-making and accountability, stalling out progress for the district.
Disenchanted Students and Teachers
Siloed decisions and a lack of accountability lead to days/weeks of 'fire drills' for school administrators. This high level of stress can lead to burnout and prevent leaders from focusing on problems that improve the district.

Alignment through optimizing your own systems.
FASCO is a process, not software.
Instead of building a new process or system from scratch, it helps leadership teams assess current programs, softwares and systems to identify gaps. Then, through FASCO’s proven process, it helps optimize those gaps, which helps your team focus back on what matters most: the students.
FASCO is:
-
A leadership operation system
-
A shared cadence for decision making
-
A way to connect existing tools and priorities
-
A process to remove leadership burnout
-
Designed for continuity through leadership transitions
FASCO is not:
-
A new initiative
-
A complicated software
-
A packaged program
-
A compliance framework
-
A one-size-fits-all model
FASCO is designed to alleviate the burnout that comes from inconsistent decision making, while keeping the focus on the students.
Built for Continuity and Student Success
FASCO's model gives school district leaders a simple, powerful framework to create full alignment across teams, while clarifying priorities and accountability, keeping students at the center of decision-making.
The Six Core Tools of the FASCO™ Model
​Vision
Create a shared, student-centered vision that unites your entire organization. Everyone knows exactly where you're going and how you're getting there — with every decision anchored to student success.
​Accountability Circle™

​Vitals
Cut through noise and complexity with leading indicators that show your real progress toward student success. Simple dashboards give your team a clear, ongoing pulse of what matters most.
​Later List™
Clear the clutter. Remove distractions that dilute your focus and energy. The Later List™ helps you identify what belongs now — and what belongs later — so your leadership stays fully aligned to student outcomes.
​Rocks
Establish quarterly priorities that directly serve your vision. Every Rock is a focused, measurable step toward becoming a Fully Aligned Student-Centered Organization™.
