How Learning Happens.

Learning is happening all the time. The challenge is seeing it. 

The Questions

What Are We Discovering?

We are working with educators to investigate questions that matter.

Teacher Workload

Can better-organized evidence reduce paperwork?

Learning Patterns

Can evidence overtime reveal changes that tests miss?

Professional Judgment

What evidence helps teachers make stronger decisions?

Student Voice

How can learners contribute to the evidence of their growth?

The Process

From Discovery to Impact

We follow evidence from the classroom into research, pilots and improved practice.

Better evidence leads to better questions—and better questions lead to better teaching.

Our Mission

The SchoolWorks Lab exists to bridge gaps in student achievement through evidence-based educational research and actionable policy recommendations.

We believe every learner deserves to be understood as a developing human being—not simply measured by a single test score. Working alongside teachers, schools, universities, and communities, we investigate how learning actually develops and how educational evidence can improve teaching, assessment, and opportunity for every student.

Our Goal

To advance educational research that uncovers how learning happens, generates evidence that matters, and supports teachers in helping every learner grow, succeed, and thrive.
