SRI Education conducts high-quality research, builds capacity through technical assistance and develops innovative tools that improve teaching and accelerate and deepen learning. We integrate our expertise in content areas, student populations and research methods to produce equity-focused and evidence-based insights. 

For more than 50 years, SRI Education has been a leader in helping partners find out what works, for whom, how and why. We are committed to a more equitable world where all educators and students thrive and have opportunities to succeed.

Our services

We discover and test the impact of policies, programs and interventions through early-stage implementation research, survey research, policy analysis, extant data analysis, and large-scale experimental and quasi-experimental studies.

Technical assistance

We support sustainable improvement of national, state and local education efforts through data-driven decision making, evidence-based practices, professional development events and tailored coaching. 

Innovation

SRI Education develops and evaluates the effectiveness of programs and tools that leverage artificial intelligence and technology to improve learning experiences and outcomes for students from prekindergarten to postsecondary.

Assessment

We design and validate assessments using gold-standard methods including evidence-centered design , Universal Design for Learning , and SRI technologies – artificial intelligence , speech recognition, video-based analytics and multi-sensing behavior analytics.

Learning analytics

We use data from online educational technologies to understand how students learn, translate findings into actionable feedback, and automate data collection and analysis.

Product design

We apply rigorous research and development services and deep content knowledge throughout the product development lifecycle, including ideation workshops, early prototype design and user and classroom testing. 

“The smartest people investment for future payback is a child’s education. Yet data continue to show opportunity gaps for underserved populations, those in poverty, and students of color. SRI Education works to strengthen the impact and broaden the reach of effective teaching and learning interventions, policies, and programs that will ensure an equitable education for all students.”
