Our Approach
At Samara Solutions Group, we are proud to partner with school districts, educators, families, and students to transform education through responsible Technology Integration, MTSS, and SEL. Our mission is to build personalized, student-centered learning environments that foster academic growth, social-emotional development, and meaningful engagement inside and outside the classroom.
We support schools in strengthening Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) through our proprietary Network of Support™ framework, a groundbreaking advancement that places the human element at the forefront of intervention systems. Network of Support™ goes beyond traditional MTSS approaches by emphasizing collective efficacy, ensuring that educators, students, and families work together to create sustainable, high-impact support structures. Network of Support™ empowers schools to develop intervention strategies that are not only data-driven but also deeply rooted in relationships, collaboration, and student-centered problem-solving.
Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is evolving, and we are also helping schools shift toward critical life skills development that prepares students for success in a digital-driven world. Our approach integrates essential skills like collaboration, growth mindset, perseverance, decision-making, critical thinking, resilience, and empathy, equipping students with the tools they need to navigate both academic and real-world challenges. Through targeted professional development, curriculum design, and coaching, we support educators in fostering these critical competencies within their classrooms.
Recognizing the importance of after school time in district-wide SEL and MTSS initiatives, Samara Solutions Group developed the Tiger Time framework, a transformative, SEL-focused model designed to help districts create high-quality, research-backed after-school programs. Tiger Time aligns seamlessly with the school day, extending learning in a structured, engaging, and sustainable way. By integrating SEL-driven activities, thoughtful structure, and enrichment opportunities, Tiger Time turns after-school hours into a purposeful extension of the student experience, helping districts foster student growth while reinforcing school-wide priorities.
Samara Solutions Group also guides schools in responsible Technology and AI Integration, ensuring that tech serves as a tool to enhance, not replace, human connection and critical thinking. From responsible AI implementation in classrooms to personalized learning experiences that support both educators and students, we help districts harness the power of AI while maintaining a strong focus on equity, engagement, and social-emotional well-being.
We further this goal with our proprietary PIVOT™ framework, which is designed to help schools reimagine how technology is integrated into teaching, learning, and leadership. PIVOT™ empowers districts to make thoughtful, human-centered decisions about tech use. Rather than simply adopting new tools, PIVOT™ challenges schools to ask bigger questions, build digital balance, and ensure that innovation always supports student well-being and instructional integrity.
At Samara Solutions Group, we believe education is strongest when every student is supported, every educator is empowered, and every family is engaged. By blending innovative strategies with a deep commitment to personalization, we help schools build future-ready learning environments where all students can succeed. Together, we are redefining what’s possible - one school, one student, and one partnership at a time.
