Mathematica Leads the Regional Educational Laboratory (REL) for the Mid-Atlantic Region

2017-2022
Human Services Education Strengthening and Disseminating Research Labor: Strengthening and Disseminating Research Early Childhood Effective Data Use Teacher and Principal Preparation and Support State and Local Advisory Services

Project Overview

Objective

The REL works with school districts, state and local education agencies, and other relevant stakeholders to support the use of evidence in improving academic outcomes for students.

Project Motivation

Regional needs drive the REL’s work. To learn which topics are important to stakeholders, we conduct needs assessments and partner with stakeholders to conduct research in response to high-leverage issues. The lab also disseminates research to promote continuous improvement of educational practice. The goal is to increase the capacity of policymakers and practitioners to access, conduct, interpret, and apply research in response to educational challenges.
