OBC empowers districts to contract for clear student outcomes and compels mutual accountability for achieving them.
About us
SEF is partnering with school districts to use Outcomes Based Contracting (OBC) to provide additional academic support for students. Participating districts require a substantial part (at least 40%) of payment to a service provider to be contingent on meeting agreed upon student outcomes. This approach helps ensure public dollars deliver academic impact, even if providers take several attempts to achieve it. OBC empowers districts to contract for clear student outcomes and compels mutual accountability for achieving them.

Exciting News! We're excited to launch our Curriculum-Based Professional Learning (CBPL) Feasibility Study in partnership with Rivet Education. This study explores how Outcomes Based Contracting (OBC) can enhance the implementation of CBPL for high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) in school districts. Key Findings: -- The study confirms that it is feasible to pilot OBC for certain types of CBPL, with mutual interest from both districts and professional learning providers. -- District leaders need continued support to understand CBPL and its research base to effectively establish and execute OBCs for CBPL. -- The success of an OBC hinges on identifying outcomes that are meaningful (important to the district), malleable (able to be impacted by the CBPL), and measurable (feasible to be accurately monitored to assess progress and attainment). -- OBC is better suited for CBPL that is job-embedded, ongoing, designed to achieve clear outcomes, targeted to specific groups, and grounded in HQIM. We encourage you to read our study and help spread the word. https://lnkd.in/gyck7Ryr #CBPLFeasibilityStudy #OutcomesBasedContracting #BuyOutcomesNotServices Southern Education Foundation

This shift is transforming the K-12 marketplace. But don’t just take our word for it. Join us to learn more about OBC and connect with district and state leaders who have seen firsthand how OBC increases student outcomes in their schools and communities.

Did you know that OBC offers technical assistance to school districts, Charter Management Organizations (CMOs), and State Education Agencies (SEAs) for the development of an outcomes based Request for Proposals (RFP) and subsequent contracts? OBC mandates that a significant portion (at least 40%) of payments to service providers hinge on achieving agreed-upon student outcomes. This approach not only enhances accountability but also fosters a results-driven culture in education funding.
