End Game for the Education Crisis

The Time to Transform Education for Student Success is

NOW.

We Know How to Improve Student Achievement and Well-Being

We Just Need to Use the Evidence.

Decades of research and results from high achieving states, districts, and schools have demonstrated what’s needed to ensure all students receive a high-quality education that prepares them for success in life. Yet, across the U.S. education system there is a failure to use evidence of effectiveness resulting in large numbers of students failing needlessly. We can change this.

The Evidence Advocacy Center (EAC) Knowledge Management System

EAC serves as a knowledge management system, an accessible repository of research based practices and policies, to connect states, districts, schools, higher education institutions, and parent advocates to trustworthy resources that are proven to have an impact.

Who We Serve

EAC curates vetted, research-based resources from partners and collaborators to support clients and organizations to inform policy and practice at all levels of the education system so that all students receive the high-quality education they deserve.

EAC provides practical and useful resources that rest on a continuum of evidence to support the missions and objectives of State Departments of Education, education policy makers, districts and schools, higher education institutions, and parent and family advocate groups.

The EAC teams are hard at work compiling their menus of research-based resources for the four users we serve and in assessment, linguistic diversity, special education, professional development, and instructional materials, thus representing all 9 critical components of the education system.

Our Mission

EAC’s mission is to significantly and permanently improve the achievement, social, emotional, and behavioral well-being of students by transforming education into a profession with research-based licensure, accreditation, continuing education, and accountability. The result? All children receive an outstanding education with:

Highly qualified teachers
Knowledgeable and supportive leaders
Materials based on careful research
Practices that have been proven to produce results

The People Behind the Work

Many people support the vision of the Evidence Advocacy Center and are committed to the work of making it a reality. We are led by an Executive Committee and guided by two advisory panels. Nine teams have taken on the task of curating reliable research-based resources in collaboration with existing organizations dedicated to the elevation of evidence.
