Research reports
At ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ we have a passion for ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ information that will help parents obtain a great education for their child. This is why we feel it is important to analyze trends in the data, examine gaps in equity, and present various measures of ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ quality.
We also want to make sure this information gets into the hands of people who will use it to take action to improve ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµs. Our reports are meant to spark conversations from ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ hallways to the hallways of the state capitol, and to inspire further research into the programs and practices that improve education and equity in our ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµs.
