How SWIFT Works

Transforming Educational Systems.
Improving the Lives of Students.

SWIFT works with our partners to implement Equity-based MTSS through whole-systems change. We have a strong history of using evidence- and strength-based practices to bring about sustainable transformations in schools across the country.

Educational Ecosystems

The SWIFT approach to transforming schools recognizes the interconnecting nature of the different people and policies involved. By drawing on the strengths and resources of all parts of the system, we seek to adjust the overall ecosystem to benefit students who have historically been left on the margins.
