Services

Since 2000, Evergreen Education Group (EEG) has provided research and expertise to a wide range of clients working to increase student opportunities and improve student outcomes through digital learning. EEG’s early work included convening networks of innovators and practitioners, and researching and publishing research and white papers about digital learning, like the Snapshot annual reports. Over the years, EEG has continued to serve as a convenor, including bringing together the Virtual Learning Leadership Alliance, and launching and running the Digital Learning Annual Conference (DLAC) and the Digital Learning Collaborative (DLC).

EEG provides expertise in everything from implementing online and blended learning programs, evaluating outcomes, and advising state agencies, school districts and state virtual schools, and private companies on topics ranging from policy and operations to marketing and strategy. One recent consulting client credits EEG with transforming the nature and quality of their sales conversations. Another long-standing client credits EEG with helping it enter what is now a large and profitable line of business. See our “work examples” page for previous deliverables in these and other areas. With the addition of a new Peter Robertson, Director of Consulting, EEG has added additional consulting capabilities. 

Our services include:

  • Consulting services

    We work with a wide range of organizations, from schools, districts, and operators to authorizers and agencies to companies and other product and service providers. We combine deep discovery of services, products, goals, and strategies with our knowledge of the field to uncover key insights and explore new directions. Our independent, unbiased expertise allows us to take stock of current situation, clarifying direction, helping chart realistic paths to get there. A detailed statement of capabilities can be found here, and many schools, districts and operators are interested in a Digital Learning Assessment. 

  • Market research and strategy

    We conduct market research to help inform company, product, and communication strategies. What differentiates us is our deep understanding and far-reaching network enable us to ask the right questions of the right people in schools, districts, state agencies, and other organizations. This leads to better insights and deeper context about customer and stakeholder needs and interests and the directions their organizations, and the field as a whole, are going.

  • White papers and case studies

    We research and publish white papers exploring topics of interest to our clients, related to policy, practice, or elements of the digital learning landscape that demonstrate how to further educational goals and improve student outcomes. Our researchers understand the field deeply, so we can quickly identify and focus on key information and implications.

  • Convening and supporting boards, panels, networks

    We organize, convene, and support groups on behalf of our clients for a variety of purposes. Examples include advisory boards for organizations seeking sustained input, panels for more narrowly defined purposes or timeframes, and networks of practitioners or organizations to facilitate collaboration.

  • Other services include: Customer Needs Analysis; Market and Go-to-Market Research; Product and Program Evaluation; Evaluating and Scaling Innovations; New Market Analysis and Entry; Strategy Analysis and Development; Case Studies and White Papers; Presentations and Workshops; Student Enrollment and Retention; Online, Hybrid, and Blended Design and Implementation; Curriculum Buy/Build Analysis; Alternative Program Implementation; CTE and College and Career Pathways; Measurement, Evaluation, and Accountability Support; Financial and Cost-Benefit Analysis; Digital Learning Policy and Regulation Recommendations and Guidance; Building and Supporting Communities of Practice and Improvement Networks; and Future Trends and Forecasting.

Our typical consulting engagement is built on a deep working relationship that encompasses two or more of the services in the list above and spans several months at a minimum. We do not typically take on the development of a single case study or running a single focus group, for example, because we seek to build a deeper understanding of each client’s needs and interests.
