Work with Us
We work with educators...
...to co-design tools and events that support educators in making sense of challenges, sharing cross-site learning, and adapting strategies as conditions change.
Our designs “walk the talk” of integrating research on professional learning and research use with the specific contexts and roles of educators.
We work with researchers...
...to strengthen the knowledge, skills, and ways of approaching their work that make research more useful, timely, and relevant.
We create the conditions for new ways of listening to and engaging with practice partners so that we all may learn and solve problems together.
We work with funders...
...to evaluate and strengthen the architecture of their investments— including the design of RFPs, grant proposals, learning opportunities for grantees, and design of portfolios.
We help funders convene the right people, clarify shared aims, and design processes that lead to actionable learning.
We work with organizations and individuals who care about reimagining education research and transforming K-12 systems as much as we do.
We work as curious researchers seeking to understand how research is developed and used in education, and as active designers of tools and experiences that weave together ideas from research, policy, and practice.
Learn with us.
How can learning and research flow together to drive deeper understanding?
For research to be a powerful tool in educational change, we must foster ongoing, multi-directional processes of sensemaking where research and learning flow together with local contextual knowledge and practical wisdom. This isn’t “the norm” and requires learning for everyone.
Design with us.
How can we design research, tools, and experiences that are rooted in shared expertise and responsibility?
Research developed with partners, shaped by multiple perspectives and oriented toward policy and practice is essential for durable systems change. That’s why we engage in co-design in our own work and help others build more collaboration into their own work.
Drive change with us.
How can we strengthen the conditions that make durable systems change possible?
Systems problems require systems solutions—not quick fixes. We work to rebalance power in education and research systems by strengthening the research–policy–practice ecosystem in ways that center educators, students, and communities.
