We start where you want to begin.

COACHING
Our expert coaches work side-by-side with your leaders to establish, accelerate, and hardwire the practices that will create a culture of continuous improvement and excellence. We will focus on helping your team create better alignment, consistency and engagement with the highest levels of service.

STAKEHOLDER PERCEPTION FEEDBACK AND IMPROVEMENT
We are not a survey company. We are a people company. Asking your people to provide feedback is an important first step, but it’s only the first step. The real work begins when you use that data to make an impact for the people you survey. We help our partners gather feedback and use what they learn to make strategic adjustments that drive improvement and make a difference for their people.

CONFERENCES AND WORKSHOPS
Our leadership development opportunities are best-in-class. We host several learning and networking events throughout the year to learn together through stories of success.

Our Partners

At Studer Education, we have the opportunity to partner with organizations across the country to support their leaders in the important and worthwhile work they do in service to others.

Our Story

2010

THE BEGINNING

Studer Education was founded by Quint Studer and Janet Pilcher as the newest division of Studer Group. Studer Group was already serving over 1000 healthcare partners to improve culture and transform clinical and operational outcomes. Many of these healthcare partners became Malcolm Baldrige National Award winners. As former educators, Quint and Janet saw great potential for making an impact in education systems using the same principles and practices.

2011

FIRST K12 PARTNERS

JANESVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT (WI) – Our pilot partner was home to Quint Studer and the place where he first entered his career as a Special Education teacher.

SANTA ROSA COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT (FL) – Consistently a recognized high-performing school district, SRCSD also faced different challenges from various stakeholders.

2014

FIRST HIGHER ED PARTNER

UNIVERSITY OF WEST GEORGIA – UWG was the first higher education institution to begin the journey to continuous improvement with Studer Education. The UWG leadership team was highly committed to becoming a “best place to work” university.

They adopted the Evidence-based Leadership framework and began by developing a scorecard to align all departments to the strategic plan. The institution has since been named among the “20 Most Promising Places to work in Students Affairs” by Diverse: Issues in Education. UWG was also recognized among the nation’s top colleges by U.S. News & World Report, based on excellence factors such as first-year student retention, graduation rates, and faculty strength.
