COLORADO PARTNERS IN LEARNING
Collaborative Relationships. Academic Access. Real Results.
ABOUT US
As public educators, friends, family members, and acquaintances frequently reach out to us for advice and support as they search for resources for their children. Out of the obvious need for more resources for families, and our passion to help them navigate tricky school systems for their children, Carolee Jackson, M.Ed., founded Colorado Partners in Learning, LLC, a K-12 Educational Advocacy and Consulting firm located in Metro Denver, CO.
As current and former educators, we have sat on the professionals' side of the table for years, trying to solve problems for children and families. While we understand the burden of a lack of resources and competing priorities that school staff constantly carry, we also understand where the hidden leverage points exist. It is because of this experience that we are of most benefit to our clients. We will sit on your side of the table and ask the right questions in order to drive real educational outcomes, without alienating the school staff who work with your child. We are all too familiar with many educational advocates' aggressive and oppositional approach to advocacy which results in fractured relationships between the educators, parents, and their children. Our goal is never to be at odds with teachers and administrators, because we have walked in their shoes. Collaboration is key. When our services are no longer needed, you will have developed a stronger relationship with the professionals who work with your child every day.
We have a deep passion for helping families ask the right questions, feel supported by school personnel, and get the necessary supports in order for their children to begin to see success. We have sat on the other side of the table when decisions about programming, services, and accommodations are made in the IEP, 504, ALP, and problem-solving process, and we understand the complex intersections of interventions, discipline, and limited staff resources in meeting the needs of struggling students.
Please reach out today to see how having an educational consultant on your side of the table can change your child's educational future!
