Education Research & Evaluation

Our research services help school systems and other education organizations identify the drivers of student readiness and school success—and ultimately improve education outcomes. We use our broad analytical skill set to identify best and promising practices, providing educators clear direction. Our team’s equity stance, inclusive data collection, and rigorous methods result in meaningful findings and practical recommendations, delivered in language educators understand.

We provide education program evaluations for state departments of education, education service organizations, foundations, nonprofits, school districts, and K–12 schools. We take a collaborative approach that clarifies what works, celebrates successes, builds clients’ evaluation skills, and guides continuous program improvement, to meet both client needs and funders’ requirements. Our methods are inclusive, ensuring our conclusions and recommendations are developed from listening to many voices.

We are passionate about helping our clients transform the schooling experience for all learners. This genuine sense of commitment to advancing educational practice, combined with our values, guide every project. A hallmark of our team is our friendly, nonjudgmental spirit of “we’re in this together.” We meet clients where they are, scaffolding to build their strategic planning, evaluation, data analysis, and other capacities as we go.
