Sperling Center for Research and Innovation - SCRI
Too often, the day-to-day tasks of planning and implementing programs prevent leaders from investigating, testing, innovating, and documenting what works. Key questions go unanswered and progress is stalled because of limited capacity and competing priorities. Even if evidence exists, it’s unclear how to apply it to practice. SCRI bridges the research to practice to policy gap, continuously bringing new field-building research and practical insights to ease the work of others. We work side by side with organizational and school leaders as they strengthen goals, implement high-quality practices, innovate to reach more young people, and advocate for improved policies.
