Mission

Our mission in evaluation is to inform clients about effective practices that promote meaningful educational change by building on rigorous research.

The trademark of our approach centers on systems theory--studying the context in which programs operate, how they are designed and implemented, and their impact on students, school staff, parents.  Additionally, we study the interrelationships of the context, design, implementation, and impact variables.  In doing so, we can provide educators with information about the real-life practicability and effectiveness of a program.

Most of our studies call for well-crafted rigorous research designs--experimental and quasi-experimental--artful sampling; sophisticated survey methodology; qualitative data collection through observation, in-person interviews, and focus groups; and creative analysis techniques.  MI is equally skilled at conducting large-scale longitudinal studies to help guide decision making for thousands of students and small-scale case studies focusing on one or two classrooms, schools or districts.

Our work routinely incorporates methods for determining what audiences want and need to know, how best to gather this information, and how best to feed back the results in usable formats.
