Quality Evaluation Designs

Quality Evaluation Designs has been serving pK-12 School Districts, Universities, Foundations, For-Profit Businesses, and State and Federal Agencies nationwide since 1996. QED provides the highest quality results, on time, and on budget. I learn your specific needs and custom fit an evaluation design focused on the right questions, to efficiently and effectively answer the questions you care about. QED has minimal overhead and no employees: I hire consultants with specific expertise needed for each project. More of your dollars go towards excellent design, data collection, and reporting. QED specializes in challenging projects due to design and sampling constraints, multiple stakeholders, and politically charged contexts. For nearly 30 years, QED has thrived solely on repeat business and word-of-mouth recommendations. Do you have a project that would benefit from a creative, methodologically nimble and high quality approach? Let's talk. Some QED Accomplishments: *Research into high school dropouts in Denver led the state Department of Education to change its graduation and dropout metrics to reflect cohort persistence rates instead of misleading, year-to-year snapshots. *QED was acknowledged by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services as an exemplar of refugee research when we successfully completed the Refugee Integration Survey and Evaluation (RISE) study, the only longitudinal study of refugee integration ever conducted in the U.S. and one of four worldwide. * QED Founder & Principal, Gary Lichtenstein, ED.D., has twice been awarded the the William Elgin Wickenden Award from ASEE for the Journal of Engineering Education article each year that exemplifies the highest standards of scholarly research.
