Community members and school leaders must use the information they have to make tough decisions in hopes of maximizing limited resources available. Too often, they rely on second-hand information, research of small sample sizes, data collected with limited validity and reliability, or results that do not match their school’s context and population served.

EmpowerK12 seeks to change that dynamic. We partner with community leaders, education organizations, and schools to create research agendas that are responsive to current challenges and build collaborative networks to share data and find bright spots that solve common problems.
