We serve education stakeholders in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C. Our work is a combination of (a) research partnerships with states, districts, and charter schools and (b) direct responses to requests from the public. Our goal is to help Mid-Atlantic stakeholders access and use high quality research so that they are armed with the evidence they need to make decisions about educational policy and practice.
Research Alliances
The research alliances for the Mid-Atlantic region are:
- Dropout Prevention Research Alliance (DPRA): The DPRA involves LEAs and charter schools within the region who wish to address the dual goals of reducing dropout and increasing on-time graduation rates among students in grades 7–12.
- Rural Education Research Alliance (RERA): The RERA is directed toward superintendents, principals, and teachers of rural LEAs and schools. The goal is to help rural educators improve their capacity to use data to make informed policy and practice decisions.
- Teacher Effectiveness Research Alliance (TERA): The TERA is open to SEAs, LEAs, and charter schools that wish to improve their ability to use teacher quality data.
- Early Childhood Education Research Alliance (ECERA): The ECERA involves LEAs and charter schools who wish to improve their capacity to use data to make informed policy and practice decisions regarding preK–3 programs. The ECERA will launch in January 2013.
