Owl’s Approach to Outcomes Measurement

In order to achieve greater equity and inclusion in education, we work with portfolio companies to measure impact in three primary areas: scale and access, diversity, and outcomes.

Diversity

SCALE & ACCESS

Achieving impact at scale for all learners.

To allow education to serve as an equalizer, we work with our companies to measure not just how many learners they’re serving, but also what their learner profile looks like. We encourage companies to report on metrics such as the number and type of communities served by geography as well as gender and racial profiles of their customers, where applicable.

Diversity

Different backgrounds + new perspectives = quality solutions

At Owl, we recognize that lack of diversity in teams is a problem since homogenous communities are susceptible to groupthink and are less likely to voice the needs of the communities they hope to serve. As part of our annual diversity survey, we collect metrics such as gender, race, pay equity, and employee retention for women, and persons of color for each of our portfolio companies, where applicable.

OUTCOMES

Leading the sector with outcomes.

Owl strongly believes that the most successful companies will be those that are able to quantitatively measure their education outcomes. We know that different types of research are appropriate to determine effectiveness according to product type and development stage. Therefore, we encourage our portfolio companies to report their impact along a spectrum, from formative to summative research.

Want all the details?

We’re excited to share the impact of our portfolio with all its key stakeholders. For each company, you will find a description of the company; the company’s approach to measuring effectiveness; and its access and outcomes data, told via metrics and case studies.
