Signature Work
Leadership
for Systems Change
Center NOVA partners with districts and school teams through structured cohorts and improvement cycles to examine the local advising system, identify high-leverage barriers, and implement practical changes. Our work combines data review, systems audits, partner mapping, and clear routines so guidance becomes more consistent, coordinated, and measurable over time.
From Insight to Implementation
Six steps we use with district teams to strengthen college and career advising systems.
1
Review postsecondary
+ CCR data
to surface patterns and priority gaps
2
Map the advising
ecosystem
(roles, partners, touchpoints) and
pinpoint breakdowns
3
Name one priority system
problem
and set a measurable aim
4
Design shared routines
that strengthen coordination
across roles and departments
5
Build an action plan for
implementation
(owners, timelines, measures)—
not just recommendations
6
Package results into tools +
a narrative
that strengthen coordination
across roles and departments
