Our Areas of Practice

Education Foundations brings deep expertise in designing and conducting rigorous evaluations and educational research for school districts, universities, and state education agencies. We serve as trusted external evaluators, providing evidence-based insights that inform decision-making, demonstrate impact, and strengthen programs. Our work ensures stakeholders have the data they need to improve outcomes and sustain effective practices. See below for research from our founder and strategic partners.

 Education Foundations partners with leading research agencies to deliver high-quality assessment alignment studies. Drawing on our founder’s extensive experience as a peer reviewer and in leading multiple alignment projects, we bring expertise in evaluating the alignment between standards, curriculum, and assessments. Our work helps agencies ensure that measures of student learning are rigorous, valid, and accurately reflect instructional goals. 

 Education Foundations provides expert guidance to agencies preparing peer review submissions for federal review. With firsthand experience leading the submission process as Chief Assessment Officer for the Tennessee Department of Education and serving as a peer reviewer for the U.S. Department of Education, our team brings unique insight into both sides of the process. We help agencies develop strong, compliant submissions that clearly demonstrate technical quality and meet federal requirements.
