As institutions look to the future, leaders must articulate a deeper purpose for their work and position themselves to communicate clearly, embrace innovation, demonstrate sustainability, navigate cultural shifts, and engage partners in the public and private sectors.

One Acorn helps clients reach these goals through hands-on engagement and thought partnership. With our three decades of leadership experience at the highest organizational levels, we are uniquely positioned to assist your institution in any organizational aspect. We offer school board leadership training and can aptly fill interim Superintendent roles or provide valuable insight for your Superintendent search process.

We believe society is a network of interdependent communities. Our work focuses on educating leaders of school systems and community leaders on the importance of place-based work to build inclusive communities where everyone’s value, worth, and potential can be fulfilled. We see the benefit of earnest collaboration and meaningful conversations amongst community stakeholders to move our most vulnerable communities forward.

One Acorn brings extensive experience in place-based work to the table, helping businesses, schools, faith organizations, nonprofits, governmental agencies, and communities develop a deeper understanding of how all stakeholders can rally resources to improve outcomes for where they learn, live, and work.

Working in partnership with nonprofits, governmental agencies, and other sectors, we assist leaders in creating a common agenda aimed at addressing specific community needs.

One Acorn strives to realize a “unified community striving for a just society” through proven, intentional, and successful strategies. Our work focuses on enhancing cradle-to-career educational opportunities and partnering with organizations and communities to benefit the greater good.

When it comes to learning environments, innovation is crucial to student success. One Acorn recognizes the benefits of open learning environments where play, exploration, creativity, and socialization prepare the next generation of citizens for the workforce.

We help educators understand the relationship between environmental design and pedagogy and how to apply methods that lead to open and engaging learning spaces. Through digital integration and facility consultations, we define the physical characteristics of teaching environments that promote innovation, flexibility, diversity, and collaboration.
