About Evidence in Action - Rhode Island

Evidence in Action - RI drives system level improvement in education in Rhode Island through a dual approach of evidence-based implementation and rigorous policy research. We work with RI educators at the state, district and school levels in long-term research-practice partnerships to tackle key questions - from stabilizing the teacher workforce and reforming the school funding system to improving math instruction, and student mental health.

“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.”

“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.”
