Third Sector and the Harvard University’s Center for Education Policy Research (CEPR) collaborated to lead an Outcomes-Based Contracting (OBC) Summit, a four-workshop virtual series exploring outcomes contracting in K-12 math instruction. The OBC Summit was funded by Schmidt Futures.
Summit participants learned about the nuances of outcomes-based contracting and defined an approach for their organization. Over 55 participants from seven school districts and eight tutoring providers across the country gathered in pursuit of three goals:
- Bring together schools and tutoring providers to find new ways of improving core academic outcomes
- Provide schools with a reliable way to improve math achievement at a scalable cost
- Unlock new R&D investment and attract new talent to the K-12 market
