Teams

The project’s teams.

The teams are intentionally broad. The High School Project currently operates through a lean setup, so members are expected to exercise initiative within each team’s mandate, identify necessary work, and collaborate where responsibilities intersect.

Public attention and participation

Communications & Engagement

Going question

How do we communicate what matters and mobilize the people needed to act on it?

This team explains the work, reaches the right audiences, and keeps public attention tied to the project’s surveys, findings, and support needs.

Problem definition and evidence

Research & Development

Going question

Is the problem anecdotally true or quantifiably true? How is the problem shaped, and what other problems, systems, actors, and constraints are connected to it? Can the project solve the problem in the way originally proposed, or must the proposed solution change?

This team defines the problem properly, tests assumptions, and keeps the evidence base strong enough to guide the project.

Making the work usable

Production & Implementation

Going question

What should The High School Project make or do, based on what the evidence shows students need?

This team turns research into usable resources, delivery systems, and public outputs that can actually help students.

Resources, support, and access

Partnerships & Funding

Going question

Which people, institutions, resources, and opportunities can help make the project’s work possible, and how do we secure their support?

This team secures the money, relationships, access, and opportunities required to make the project possible.
