Other Research Projects
Since 2007, Project Tomorrow has leveraged our in-depth knowledge and expertise in education and research practices to design and develop highly customized evaluation, feedback, and efficacy studies for school districts, companies, nonprofit organizations, museums, and foundations who want to understand the impact of particular learning interventions on student outcomes and teacher effectiveness.
Efficacy Studies and Research
95% of K-12 administrators say that an external evaluation of the impact of a learning intervention on student achievement and/or teacher effectiveness is an important component in their decision-making on whether or not to use that product, resource or model in their classrooms.
Almost two-thirds of national administrators identify this type of 3rd party efficacy research as very important.
(Speak Up 2019/20 national findings)
In the past 13 years, we have been completed over 50 efficacy studies in both K-12 and higher education utilizing a variety of study designs including using experimental, quasi-experimental, secondary data analysis, and case study methodologies. In addition, we are regularly consulted to provide input into the validity of the research practices of other organizations and have been an external evaluator on several large grant funded projects.
Feedback Studies
The National Advisory Council on Cybersecurity (NACC)
The mission of the National Advisory Council on Cybersecurity (NACC) for education is to ensure public education institutions have access to relevant, timely, expert guidance and thought leadership to ensure our nation’s schools can adopt practical strategies and implement cybersecurity frameworks and controls aligned with Federal mandates. The NACC believes and is committed to supporting the work of protecting our nation’s schools through a cross-organizational strategy, incorporating the talents and expertise across all departments and disciplines, beginning with the Executive Cabinet and Boards of Education.
