Our Mindset and Approach
ANet offers more than products and services. We’re an expert partner to educational leaders. Our collaborations tap into each partner’s unique educational environment and community.
If you want to impact achievement and equity in your school, district, or CMO, an ANet partnership can tailor a strategic integration of assessments, coaching, and tools that lead to breakthrough results for your students. We help leaders build a shared educational practice that is grounded in equity and creates access to an empowering education and the opportunities that education provides.
Assessments have historically deepened inequity. They still do.
“Rich kids are taught. Poor kids are tested.” (Cornel West)
Under institutional systems, testing hasn’t succeeded in assessing where students are academically. Instead, it’s often used as a culturally biased tool for predetermining kids’ futures. We need to use data from assessments to learn what kids need and how we can help them, instead of deficit-framing them.

At the center of our vision is the student.
Institutions need to adapt and learn from kids.
It’s not just about what is taught and how it’s taught. It’s about who. All children should have access to an empowering education and the opportunities it provides. To provide it, we have to start by changing our own perceptions of accountability, performance, and representation. Kids have always adapted to the systems around them. If we want to give students an equitable education, the system needs to adapt to kids.
