About

For over 40 years, we have provided consulting services and technical assistance to schools, local and state boards of education, state education departments, state legislatures, federal education agencies, foundations, professional education associations, and public and private colleges. We have conducted more than 500 data-based studies and program design projects in more than 40 states and abroad. These projects have spanned an array of topics, including curriculum and test development, program development and evaluation, parent advocacy, policy formulation and analysis, administrative organization, and school finance.

In addition, we have trained thousands of school board members and tens of thousands of teachers and administrators across the U.S., often sponsored by state associations (such as the Texas Association of School Boards) or by national organizations (such as the Danforth Foundation, American Association of School Administrators, and National School Boards Association).
