A2i, assessment to instruction, is a secure, cloud-based platform designed to support educational leaders’ and teachers’ efforts to provide more effective and individualized literacy instruction from kindergarten through third grade. A2i achieves this by linking assessment results to recommendations for instructional strategies / activities thru evidence-based algorithms.

Flowing from research and best practices observed in communities in North America, as outlined in our book "Community Visions," our three organizations foster community impact achievement thru research and funding (The Collaboratory), consulting and speaking (Rubicon Partners) and social venture development and commercialization of tools required to work differently (A2i). See our websites: www.thecollaboratory.us; www.MyA2i.com; and www.workingdifferently.org.

We are a national nonprofit collaboratory that fosters local community support for holistic, community-wide solutions to social problems. Our work is founded on the premise that communities today are challenged to create systemic, locally-based solutions to complex problems by working across organizations and sectors.Succeeding with this work requires new partnerships, information, and support to occur in an awkward “no man’s land” between legal entities and across traditional boundaries and jurisdictions. The Collaboratory works within this "no man's land" and serves communities and national partners to allow them to succeed at working in this shared space.We provide hands-on assistance to help you and your community create the plans, the infrastructure, and the partnerships you need.
