Education Insights Center (EdInsights)

EdInsights is a research center. Our purpose is to conduct research, provide evaluation services, and create collaborative professional learning spaces that inform and advance anti-racist approaches to policymaking and practice so that minoritized student populations have equitable opportunities and outcomes in their public education and career journeys. EdInsights supports student success by providing the following capabilities to our partners in education, philanthropy, and government. Policy research We conduct applied research to create bodies of knowledge on key issues relevant to student success. Our qualitative and quantitative studies are enriched by our understanding of contextual issues that affect our education system, including student perspectives. Program evaluation We evaluate programs to assess active policies and practices that feed cycles of continuous improvement and to understand the effects of public investments on institutional change. We conduct formative and summative evaluations and partner to help those involved understand results and apply lessons learned. Capacity building We build capacity to help empower regions, partnerships, and institutions to achieve their desired goals. We offer expertise in data analysis, strategic planning, collaboration and consensus building, and cultivating communities of practice.
