Rhode Island Education Research Initiatives

Local Collaboration for National Impact

 

The Annenberg Institute’s Rhode Island education research initiatives bring together local education leaders and researchers to solve pressing educational challenges, with a specific focus on student engagement and teacher learning. Drawing on the complementary expertise and earned trust of partners, these initiatives seek to improve Rhode Island student and school experiences through stronger use of data and evidence while producing research that has impact on a national scale.

Partner Spotlight

  • Dr. Angela Holt - Director of Curriculum and Instruction, Woonsocket Education Department

    We all have heard the phrase 'it takes a village to raise a child' and the same is true for creating effective extended learning programs for all students. The learning and knowledge district leadership gained from participating in work with Annenberg allowed for the district to quickly and effectively partner with a wide array of community based organizations to create a summer learning program that was innovative and engaging.
  • Zack Scott - Deputy Superintendent of Operations, Providence Public Schools

    The Brown/Annenberg team have been great partners in research on a variety of topics around the district. I have particularly appreciated their support in the research around Human Capital. The team always does a great job of 1) working closely with us to ensure the topics are relevant and important to the work of the district and 2) ensuring that the findings from the research are actionable and allow us to make data-based decisions regarding district strategy and actions.
  • Stephen Grace - MTSS Culture Specialist, Elementary & Secondary Network

    Much of my work has been focused on creating systems and subsequent interventions to combat chronic absenteeism in Providence Public Schools. Annenberg provides the data, analysis, and supportive expertise to help me make data-driven, researched decisions to help support our students and schools.
