Education Services and Consulting
There are so many unique challenges that come with running schools and businesses in the education space. FerskenED stands apart as a boutique education firm with experience in several niche areas. While the majority of the clients that FerskenED has worked with over the years have been in operations and government and public affairs, our team can bring solutions to many areas of your schools and businesses.
Operations
School Operations
Our team includes charter and district administrators with a focus on solving the digital education problems of the 21st century. Understanding the relationships of synchronous teaching and learning within the LMS, the challenges of working in Student Information Systems (SIS), and the digital tools that makes a digital learning classroom possible is where our team really shines. We offer a full suite of diagnostic services and custom school operations packages to support your school operations needs.
Businesses Operations
Our team also includes EdTech business solutions specialists who understand the intricacies of the business world in relation to the education industry. We can offer realignment solutions, diagnostic reviews in relation to staffing, standard operating procedures (SOPs) writing and review, and resource allocation reviews.Government and Public Affairs
The FerskenED team has a unique blend of background and experience in government affairs as well as a network of policy makers across the nation. The FerskenED approach to external affairs includes researchers (both quantitative and qualitative) to develop data driven decisions. Next, the FerskenED team will work with you to create a list of appropriate talking points and research briefs. Finally, we will support your desired outcomes through meeting prep and a coordinated media strategy.
Another angle on the public affairs project spectrum is crisis management. Change management is such an important aspect of every organization and school. Did a news article or social media frenzy give a false narrative of what is happening with your team? Let us help you fix it.
Is your project not specific to education? No problem--we have a strategic partnership with a public relations firm that specializes in government affairs and issue advocacy.
