Allow Springboard to measure impact and improve it's reading literacy program.
Posted December 19, 2022
Background & Context
Springboard Collaborative is a nationwide education non-profit that leverages family engagement to improve literacy outcomes by 4th grade.
Immediate Problem
Help vet Springboard's internally developed Data Sharing Agreement that protects our students and school partners data as we work to improve our services.
Work & Deliverables
Springboard has a draft data sharing agreement that it would like reviewed and edited by legal counsel.
Springboard would like to add a Data Sharing addendum to its Service Agreement between our non-profit organization and school/districts. The DSA would cover the transfer of program outcomes and peer evaluation data to better quantify impact of Springboard interventions and improve future work.

Collaboration Phase
- Gather data sharing requirements and use case
- Springboard provides draft DSA with in-house markups
- Iterative updates and review of document with note on key considerations
Wrap Up

Springboard Collaborative
Springboard Collaborative closes the literacy gap by closing the gap between home and school. We coach educators and family members to help kids learn to read by 4th grade. Springboard envisions a world in which all children have the requisite literacy skills to access life opportunities. In pursuit of the vision, Springboard will help 100,000 children reach reading goals by 2023. The path forward consists of five main elements: Flagship programs: Our flagship Summer and Afterschool programs double students’ annual reading progress through parent-teacher collaboration. Franchised programs: We successfully launched an affiliate model through which Springboard trains and certifies leaders to implement our playbook in their context for half the cost. Family engagement blueprint: We distilled the best practices from our programs and wove them into a framework for embedding family engagement into the school day, school year, and—ultimately—the school culture. Marketplace: We created an a la carte menu of products and services that drive impact, scale, and financial sustainability. This includes a home literacy app, our family workshop curriculum, and teacher training modules. Springboard as an idea: Finally, we are distilling Springboard into an open-source methodology for engaging parents that can become ubiquitous. We aim to catalyze a culture shift, making family engagement in education the new normal. It took decades for the sector to embrace the idea that all children can learn. It is Springboard’s ambition—and our charge—to prove that all parents can teach.
