Bridging the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world practices is critical to improving educational outcomes for our schools and students.
Our world-renowned researchers, thinkers, and policy experts have developed interventions proven to work at all levels of American education.
But how does even the best research go from paper to practice?
Through many of our programs and initiatives, the Johns Hopkins School of Education is committed to creating powerful partnerships among families, schools, districts, states, and communities that bring the results and recommendations from our research directly to schools and students in meaningful ways.
