Nebraska School Improvement Research Partnership (Historical)

The Nebraska School Improvement Research Partnership (NE School Improvement RP) assembled a group of Nebraska stakeholders whose objectives included identifying evidence-based practices for school improvement, determining strategies for implementing such practices, and exploring ways in which education agencies can sustain and scale up programs for schools in need of improvement. The partnership had three areas of focus: Evidence-Based Practices; Scaling Intensive Support; and Data-Informed Decision-Making. Overall, partnership objectives included supporting NDE in creating a coherent system of support for continuous school improvement and in building internal capacity for data-driven decision-making. The long-term goal was to increase NDE’s capacity to provide coordinated, coherent, and high-quality support to Nebraska schools.
