SRI Education reduces barriers and optimizes outcomes for students of all ages and backgrounds. Our research teams work with federal, state, foundation and commercial partners to improve teaching, education policies and student learning.
We do this by conducting high-quality research, supporting use of data and evidence, and developing tools that improve teaching and accelerate and deepen learning. We integrate our expertise in content, populations and research methods to produce equity-focused and research-based insights.

Ordinarily Extraordinary – Conversations with women in STEM
SRI’s Dr. Claire Christensen shares the importance of research on the impacts of media on youth.
“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.”
