State educational agencies (SEAs) face complex challenges that require both technical solutions and adaptive approaches that shift leadership, structures, and processes. WestEd’s systems review process provides a structured yet flexible framework to help SEAs

  • assess systems and improve coordination to reduce redundancy and enhance productivity;
  • build leadership and staff capacity to navigate both technical and adaptive challenges; and
  • align agency work with long-term state priorities for sustainable, meaningful change.

Drawing on decades of expertise in capacity building, technical assistance, and systems improvement, WestEd partners with SEA leaders to ensure efforts are data-driven, actionable, and impactful. By applying principles of organization development, systems thinking, and continuous improvement, this approach helps agencies realize their full potential.
