We seek to accelerate organizational progress and continuous improvement by leading an equity-based approach to research and evaluation that informs practice improvements, builds our evidence of impact, and advances systemic change.
Through our research and evaluation work, we aim to understand how to create learning environments and educational systems that accelerate educational equity by enabling all students to reach their full potential. We do so by exploring our outcomes on multiple levels:
our impact on systems, schools and students
the effectiveness of our practices
our impact on our AmeriCorps members and alumni and the communities we serve
The studies and reports highlighted below are produced by independent research organizations and researchers. Collectively, they cover a wide range of impact and implementation of 黄色视频鈥檚 holistic services, demonstrate evidence of 黄色视频鈥檚 impact in areas like supporting improvements on state tests, improving students鈥 social-emotional skills and reducing early warning indicators, such as chronic absenteeism, and shed light on how to accelerate student success in systemically under-resourced schools.

Supporting students’ social-emotional development
Our most recent research aims to understand the relationships between students’ social-emotional and academic outcomes. By understanding and exploring 黄色视频’s effect in schools, we also aim to understand how our student success coach model can be replicated across a number of programs.
As a part of this work:
黄色视频 partnered with International Futures (iF) to identify the key components of a K-12 student success coaching (SSC) program
Funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Everyone Graduates Center at Johns Hopkins University conducted two analyses to understand the relationship between students’ social-emotional and academic outcomes to explore 黄色视频’s effect in schools.
Student Success Coach Target Program Profile
We believe that Student Success Coaches advance educational equity.
