The Johns Hopkins Institute for Education Policy works with a variety of partners to execute our mission of integrating research into policy and practice.
We partner with philanthropists to fund our education research; policymakers who turn to us for knowledge about what works; districts and schools that use our various tools to evaluate their practices; and educational organizations which work with us to advance shared goals.
Our Partnerships in Action
In ongoing research, we work with Arizona State University to evaluate the NEW (Next Education Workforce) initiative of the Mesa public school district in Arizona, a team-teaching approach that involves co-planning, co-teaching, and data-driven decision-making to provide the most effective learning environment for students.
We partnered with school districts in North Carolina and Colorado to put the Teacher Survey of Curriculum Use into action. As a result of the survey, the North Carolina school district revised its professional development plan to include greater support, job-embedded coaching, and targeted training. The Colorado school district streamlined teaching and learning by identifying and implementing a high-quality, knowledge-building curriculum.
We partnered with school administrators in Florida to execute our School Culture 360™ survey. The survey results helped leaders evaluate school culture and identify strengths and areas for growth to meet the needs of their schools’ communities, while building on what they’ve already accomplished.
