The Quadrant Method

Methodology

Our Process

4 Quadrants

We organize our processes by 2 axes for the subjective ELEMENTS and for the objective COMPONENTS. Our hallmark Collaborative Practices is the target where all knowledge intersects.

The quadrants group the process steps and are further divided into four parts containing activities related to Awareness, Mindset, Readiness & Preparedness – enhancing learning best practices in Education.

Quadrant 1 – the Awareness Assessment stage – puts everyone on the same page, working as a guide to get from where you are to where you want to be.

Quadrant 2 allows us to formulate your process and prepare for implementation. This is the most intense quadrant when teacher best practices & training begins.

Quadrant 3 brings us to smoothing out the operational flow through Training, Assessments and Technology.

Quadrant 4, now having gone full circle, brings us to Measuring Impacts.

Collaborative Practices

Collaborative knowledge sharing enables co-creation, co-development, and co-deployment.

This trilogy facilitates the ongoing evolution and improvements to implement sustainable practices in Transforming Educational Processes.

Pinpointing common know-how while on site allows us to co-develop the gap filling Best Practices road map.

Quadrant 2

PREPARATION

Quadrant 2

Each quadrant groups some modules and components of the process, as explained below.

Arc of Learning Definition
Arc of Learning Definition

The strategic roadmap begins with the hard part: How adults will harmoniously work together.
