Research & Evaluation Services
The Education Alliance conducts evaluations of educational policy initiatives. From a tri-state assessment grant to a Gates Foundation funded graduation by proficiency initiative, our evaluations attend to both policymaker and practitioner perspectives. Examples of recent work include:
The Foundation for Educational Administration (FEA) in partnership with the New Jersey Principals and Supervisors Association contracted with The Education Alliance to conduct an evaluation of the 3 R's Educational Leadership Project.
The New England Compact (NEC) contracted with The Education Alliance to conduct evaluations of the process and outcome components of NEC's two Enhanced Assessment Instruments (EAI) grants funded by the U.S. Department of Education.
The Rhode Island Department of Education contracted with The Education Alliance to conduct an evaluation of its Graduation by Proficiency (GBP) Initiative. The GBP Initiative, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, was a project dedicated to the development of a critical component of Rhode Island's new diploma system.
New York City school districts identified for corrective action contracted with Learning Point Associates (LPA) in partnership with The Education Alliance to conduct curriculum audits in order to identify how districts have delineated, interpreted, aligned and articulated New York state standards and written district curricula in English language arts and/or math.
