About Outcomes Based Contracting
What is Outcomes Based Contracting (OBC)? SEF's OBC initiative seeks to improve opportunities for students to participate in meaningful academic experiences, create a competitive marketplace for vendors that prioritize student outcomes, and help school districts and vendors collaborate to serve students better and show evidence of their results. The program is part of our mission to improve education, reaching students throughout and beyond the South in recognition of education inequities nationwide.
This September, we are gathering leaders nationwide in Dallas, Texas, to explore this exciting strategy. Learn more at obc.southerneducation.org. #outcomesbasedcontracting #highimpacttutoring #k12education
