Presentation Team

Presentation Team

A temporary team is a must

The K–12 student performance concerns voiced by ordinary parents have often been easy for decision-makers to overlook.

Therefore, a professional presentation team is a must.

This explainer site serves as a training resource for professional presenters, lobbyists, and—where appropriate—a specialized law firm experienced in engaging federal agencies, Congress, and the nation’s leading corporations.

In the interest of K–12 student performance, the federal government could fund a professional presentation team, subject to applicable legal, appropriations, and procurement requirements.

If federal funding is not provided—even as federal agencies and Members of Congress review this explainer site—HSe4Metrics could seek to cover the cost of retaining a professional team through a limited fundraising campaign, such as the example at the top of this page. It is currently labeled No Donations because the campaign has not been activated.

The team’s goal: secure a sponsor for the HSe4Metrics platform.

The professional team would present the platform to appropriate federal agencies and departments, Members of Congress, and corporate decision-makers; assist prospective sponsors with their due diligence; and, where appropriate, help coordinate the platform’s implementation and testing.

Lobbyists—like parents across America—understand the urgency of achieving transformative change in hard-number K–12 student-performance results. Several potential outcomes include:
  • Better-prepared college students, including reduced need for remediation and lower college-dropout rates
  • Dramatic reductions in national K–12 dropout, chronic absenteeism, and truancy rates
  • Stronger outcomes for students in higher-performing K–12 schools across a broad range of performance metrics
  • Stronger outcomes for students in lower-performing K–12 schools—not limited to reading, writing, and mathematics
  • Growing numbers of qualified candidates for the nation’s workforce
  • A stronger national GDP, supported by growth in the nation’s skilled, homegrown workforce
  • Broad quality-of-life improvements resulting from the combined effects of the outcomes above
The purpose of HSe4Metrics and its platform is to transform lives, focusing on young people during their K-12 years and the critical years before kindergarten.
Helping orient the presentation team are videos.

Among its key points, this avatar’s message reminds the presentation team to engage with marketing agencies. If the team identifies an agency with established relationships with a major corporation, they could collaborate to co-present the HSe4Metrics platform.

A major corporation may view the HSe4Metrics platform as both a high-profile national marketing initiative and a potentially unparalleled corporate social responsibility (CSR) opportunity—one of importance to the federal government and the public alike.

The presentation team could strengthen its outreach by coordinating meetings with multiple corporations simultaneously, allowing multiple companies to begin their due diligence in parallel.

In theory, potential government sponsors are not limited to federal agencies and departments. They could also include state or local governments—or public-private partnerships involving government entities and major corporations.

However, funding and coordinating a highly complex platform across 50 states could introduce unnecessary administrative complexity and delay. Because rapid adaptation and flexibility would be paramount in serving a nationwide K–12 audience whose participation would be voluntary, a more centralized sponsorship structure may better support near-instantaneous adaptation at HSe4Metrics speed—with results ultimately verified through hard-number metrics such as NAEP.

BRINGING THE HSe4Metrics PLATFORM TO AMERICA’S K–12 STUDENTS COULD BE THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT PUBLIC EDUCATION INITIATIVE IN THE HISTORY OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.
