Our Projects in Education
Turn to Insight Policy Research for high-quality research, analysis, and technical assistance to help ensure better educational outcomes. For 5 years, Insight has been part of the Regional Education Laboratories in Appalachia (REL-Appalachia) team, providing an ongoing needs assessment of regional stakeholders, including parents, teachers, school, superintendents, State and regional agencies, and business organizations. In addition to leading the needs assessment, Insight has evaluated the outreach, dissemination, and communication efforts of REL-Appalachia. Moreover, we have led the development of educational and technical assistance events aimed at translating educational research into practice.
