Description of Research Program
The Institute intends for the Education Policy, Finance, and Systems (Policy/Finance) research program to address five goals: (1) identifying policies, systemic programs or practices, and education finance programs or practices that are associated with better student outcomes (e.g., student learning, high school graduation rates); (2) developing new policies, education finance and systemic practices that are intended to improve student outcomes either directly or indirectly by improving the teaching and learning environment; (3) evaluating the efficacy of education policies, education finance programs and practices, and systemic programs and practices that are intended to improve student outcomes either directly or indirectly by improving the teaching and learning environment; (4) evaluating the impact of policies, finance programs and practices, and other systemic practices that are implemented at scale and are intended to improve student outcomes either directly or indirectly by improving the teaching and learning environment; and (5) developing and testing cost accounting tools and measurement systems that will enable education administrators to link student-level resources to student-level achievement data.
