Mission & Focus

The Education Alliance, a department at Brown University, promotes educational change to provide all students equitable opportunities to succeed. We advocate for populations whose access to excellent education has been limited or denied.

Since 1975, we have partnered with schools, districts and state departments of education to apply research findings in developing solutions to educational challenges. We focus on district and school improvement with special attention to underperformance and issues of equity and diversity.

We design and deliver expert services around planning, professional learning, and research and evaluation.

For more detailed information on the kinds of opportunities we offer, see Professional Services and Areas of Expertise. For a listing of current and past projects, see our Portfolio of Work.
