PK-12 services
Building Condition Assessment - Service
Years of aging school buildings, changes in enrollment patterns and educational programs, and the need to technologically update existing facilities, combined with severe restrictions on available funds, have created major educational facility issues throughout the nation.
CCLC Evaluations - Service
21st Century Community Learning Center Projects (21st CCLC) provide after school and summer activities to help students, particularly students attending low-performing schools, to meet state and local student achievement standards.

MGT provides a full range of services in the equal opportunity arena.

Early Childhood and Education - Service
This is a pivotal time for early care and education. Program funding is under stringent review and accountability requirements like those mandated under the No Child Left Behind Act are trickling down to early education programs. Never before in the history of early care and learning has there been such a great need for comprehensive planning for performance management and accountability.
Education Data - Service
In recent years, all levels of education in the United States have become increasingly accountable for improving the educational status of students. One consequence of this is that state education organizations – public schools, technical centers and colleges, adult education centers, community colleges, and universities – have responded by developing new data systems that are longitudinal, combine elements across business units, and link to related services such as foster care, public assistance, correctional education, and employment. These systems have supported increased reporting requirements, public accountability, evaluation, and research that guides and evaluates policies and programs.
Educational Technology - Service
As accelerated technological change has transformed society, the PK-12 learning environment has had to become more productive. In today’s knowledge-based economy, learning has become a strategically critical industry, and significant changes must be made in education to meet the challenges of the new information age.
Facility Master Planning - Service
Years of neglect have taken a toll on educational facilities. Changes in school enrollment patterns and programs, and the desperate need to update facities all play major roles in the problems facing institutions nationwide. In fact, these problems have reached such a critical level that many school districts can no longer ignore safety dangers, the sky-rocketing maintenance costs, escalating utility costs, and the inability of the facilities to accommodate the installation of modern technology.
Human Resources Studies - Service
Educational entities face each of these organizational pressures: recruitment, retention, and performance attainment. In addition, they must deal with trends such as increased accountability, limited resources, and amplified responsibilities.
Information Technology - Service
The experiences of the past two decades demonstrate that technological advancement is more than simply providing equipment. However, the choices of how best to facilitate and improve operations through technology remains a challenge to many educational entities. Rapid advancements in technology require that schools, school districts, and states evaluate their processes.
Learning Technology Evaluation Center (LTEC) - Service
Software publishers invest huge amounts of time, energy, and money in the development of products to be used in the classroom. Consequently, they must make every effort to ensure that their products are successful in the marketplace. That effort must include both initial and ongoing feedback from real students and teachers in real classrooms. Publishers need to know about their products’ installation, ease of use, effectiveness, and integration into the curriculum. This “testing” of the product in actual classroom settings can provide strong evidence to support marketing efforts and provide critical feedback on needed improvements that will increase the product’s market attractiveness.
Outsourcing and Staff Augmentation - Service
For 30 years, MGT has assisted public sector clients find solutions to the challenges that PK-12 institutions face in IT strategic planning and staffing. MGT can help you operate more efficiently and effectively.
Performance Audits and Management Reviews - Service
The education sector undeniably faces great challenges today. States, schools, and school districts must now plan to comply with No Child Left Behind Act accountability requirements.
Performance Measurement and Management - Service
Become a Performance Based Organization
Performance-based organizations, including PK-12 institutions, measure and report the extent to which their goals are being accomplished and use the measures to improve program performance.
Program Evaluation - Service
We know from first-hand experience what it’s like being in the public spotlight. We understand the need to provide independent assessments of the extent to which your programs are meeting or exceeding their goals and objectives, and doing so as efficiently as possible.
Reading Evaluations - Service
Changes in federal legislation brought about by the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act make accountability for results in reading a national priority. Reading failure greatly affects student motivation and school performance, and over time has tremendous effect on dropout rates. Improved early reading instruction can be the first step toward raising academic achievement to ensure that all students have the reading skills necessary for success in school and life. Teachers need the best teaching resources available and up-to-date information on how to use scientifically based reading methods to teach reading skills.
