Institute for Educational Leadership and Clear Impact Announce New Technology Partnership Focused on Data and Impact 

[Rockville, MD] — September 9, 2025: Clear Impact and Institute for Educational Leadership (IEL) are thrilled to jointly introduce to their networks “Partnering for Child and Family Peak Results: An Initiative of IEL and Clear Impact”.

Schools are hubs of opportunity that provide essential academic, health, and social services to students and families. By partnering with local organizations, these schools create comprehensive support systems that address student needs holistically, fostering improved educational outcomes, stronger family engagement, and enhanced community well-being​.

However, managing these extensive programs, tracking student and family engagement, securing funding, and demonstrating measurable outcomes can be challenging. That’s where has Clear Impact come in over the years, offering an all-in-one performance management system that empowers School Coordinators and leadership with the tools they need to streamline data collection, measure impact, and ensure sustainable, high-quality services across one program or up to a whole network​. Similarly, IEL is a 61-year old national nonprofit working to change systems through people, building the capacity of individuals and teams to strengthen their communities and education systems.  

The initiative will address how to:

• • Demonstrate Measurable Results: Use your data, or imported data to clearly illustrate the transformative outcomes of individual children and programs.
  • Review for Continuous Improvement: Consistently use data to refine strategies, ensuring sustained success and growth with written history logs and Gantt charts. 
  • Share Effective Storytelling: Align with the Results Based Accountability, “Never Report Data Without the Story,” by sharing impactful narratives with performance data to bring your mission to life.
  • Unify and Streamline Reporting: Program to State to Federal with secure partners access all in one spot.
  • Create Executive Dashboards: High-level to granular reporting.
  • Stay Grant Compliant: Easy data export and internal or external shared links.

“Our team at IEL is excited that our work with Clear Impact to measure key impact in our partner communities is now something we can share with members of our networks, who can get special access to powerful software tools that will assist them in capturing the important stories they are a part of, and making decisions based on accurate data,” said Eddie Koen, President of IEL.

“After years of collaboration with IEL on various projects, I am thrilled that we have taken this step to partner on an effort to measurably improve conditions of well-being for children and families across the United States through our technology suite.” 

– Adam Luecking, CEO, Clear Impact
