We’re starting to see some comprehensive research coming out of the federal School Improvement Grant Program.
- The Center on Education Policy released two reports this week on early implementation of SIG across the country, as well as case studies on implementation in three states.
- The Center for American Progress released a report this week that discusses the grant-making strategies state’s used to distribute SIG funds.
I should note that the publications I’ve authored for the Center on Innovation & Improvement examine implementation of SIG and are “research,” but focus more on promising practices and case studies of a selected group of states or on a specific topic, such as Lead Turnaround Partners.
