About Us

Samara Solutions Group partners with schools and districts to build programs and practices that make a meaningful difference for students and the people who support them. Our work spans after-school programming, MTSS and intervention, responsible AI integration, and professional learning. Grounded in firsthand experience inside public schools, we develop solutions around each district’s needs and the realities of putting them into practice.

 

After-school programming is a central part of that work. We created Tiger Time for Princeton Public Schools and bring that experience to developing programs tailored to the communities they serve. From program design through daily operations, we help districts offer dependable care and engaging experiences beyond the school day. We also provide consulting for districts that operate their own programs, helping them strengthen procedures and support the staff responsible for delivering a quality experience.

 

Our work in MTSS focuses on making student support more effective and easier to put into action. Through our proprietary Network of Support™ framework, we help schools build shared responsibility for student success and strengthen collaboration with families. Data informs the process, while relationships and an understanding of each student guide how support is delivered. The goal is a system educators can use consistently, with clear responsibilities and meaningful follow-through.

 

We also help schools navigate technology and AI with purpose. Our proprietary PIVOT™ framework guides thoughtful decisions about how technology fits into teaching and school leadership. We work with educators to identify useful applications and establish appropriate guardrails, keeping student well-being and professional judgment central to the process. Technology should serve the people using it and preserve the human connection that makes education work.

 

Professional learning connects our services to everyday practice, with training and consulting shaped by the challenges educators face. This includes strengthening social-emotional learning (SEL) and helping students develop life skills that extend beyond the classroom. We support educators in teaching students how to navigate relationships, make thoughtful decisions and respond to setbacks. Skills such as critical thinking and self-advocacy help young people take greater ownership of their lives as they prepare for increasing independence. Through targeted professional development and curriculum design, we help schools make these skills a meaningful part of students’ learning experiences.

 

We believe lasting improvement begins with understanding a school community. Whether we’re developing an after-school program or helping a team rethink how it supports students, our role is to work alongside districts and turn their priorities into solutions that make a difference.
