As education leaders face increasing pressure to show measurable impact from recovery funding, outcomes-based contracts (OBCs) are emerging as a promising path forward. This edWeb podcast explores how districts and partners are redefining accountability by tying dollars directly to student learning outcomes rather than service delivery.
Listeners hear from leaders who are implementing OBCs in real time, including representatives from The Center for Outcomes Based Contracting, BookNook, and Hamburg School District (AR). Together, they unpack what OBCs are—and aren’t—while sharing lessons learned from early pilots and best practices for building strong, data-driven partnerships.
Learning objectives include:
- Understand the core principles and structure of outcomes-based contracts
- Examine how OBCs can improve transparency, impact measurement, and ROI for tutoring and other interventions
- Identify readiness indicators and first steps for districts interested in exploring OBCs
- Learn from a district’s firsthand experience implementing an OBC model
Listeners leave with practical insights and actionable strategies to begin conversations in their own districts about paying for what matters most—student learning. This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 school leaders, district leaders, and State Education Agencies.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
