Center for Education Innovation, Evaluation, and Research
Empowering Education, Transforming Futures:
Innovate, Evaluate, Demonstrate with Data-Driven Solutions and Collaborative Partnerships
The Center for Education Innovation, Evaluation & Research partners closely with Oregon school districts to transform data into clear, actionable insights. We work alongside districts to make the most of their existing data to strengthen programs, make informed resource decisions, and meet state and federal expectations with clarity and confidence.
Our approach is grounded in research and shaped through meaningful collaboration with district leaders and educators. We focus on building local capacity so that data doesn’t just sit in reports but becomes a practical, living tool—one that actively supports planning, continuous improvement, and effective communication with boards and communities.
Guided by our motto, “Innovating Practice. Evaluating Impact. Demonstrating Success.” we provide hands-on support and expertise in: quantitative and qualitative data analysis, program and project evaluation, facilitated improvement and strategic planning processes, grant development and reporting, teacher recruitment and retention analysis, educator-led improvement efforts, and novice educator mentoring and mentor supports.
