The DC Education Research Collaborative consists of an Advisory Committee and a Research Council. The Urban Institute serves as the managing entity, leading the Collaborative and overseeing all research projects.

The DC Education Research Collaborative is a research-practice partnership. We bring together the people who conduct research and the people who will use it and be affected by it to generate actionable information that can advance equity and improve student outcomes in DC public schools.

Our mission is to provide everyone who has a stake in the success of DC’s public education community with robust, meaningful, and actionable information to support decisions that improve outcomes and advance equity.
