Working With the Best Clients and Partners
Our Approach
Our friendly and dynamic team works with dedicated people who contribute to the success of our students. Together, we work to collect multifaceted data. From there, we help local groups build the independent capacity to manage the data collection and analysis frameworks we've designed.
As a woman-owned small business, we partner with national research firms and government agencies to actualize the evaluation
requirements for a variety of grants and projects. Together, we identify practices and policies that are effective at scale using mixed-methods research practices.
We support the democratization of evaluation. That's why we curate an ever-growing database of instruments that have been used in the field and follow high standards of design. Our database includes over 70 different high-quality surveys, focus group protocols, and more, published by top researchers that are free to use with attribution.
We combine classroom teaching experience with years of applied research in the field to help create reports that can inform decision making at any scale. Our team synthesizes the most high-quality, up-to-
date research from respected sources that are accessible in easy-to-read language.
