How Learning Happens.
Learning is happening all the time. The challenge is seeing it. The SchoolWorks Lab studies how learning develops, how educators recognize it, and how better evidence can help every learner grow, succeed, and thrive.

The foundation for better learning.
Intelligence develops.
Understanding development.
Helping educators make trustworthy meaning from evidence.
Our work begins with a simple belief: intelligence develops. We study that development, look for evidence of learning as it happens, and work with teachers to understand what that evidence means.
We are working with educators to investigate questions that matter:
Can better-organized evidence reduce the time teachers spend on paperwork?
Can longitudinal evidence reveal changes that conventional assessments miss?
What evidence helps teachers make stronger decisions?
Can students meaningfully contribute to the evidence of their learning?
Can learning intelligence work across the tools teachers already use?
Publications, reports, data, and more.
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.
To advance educational research that uncovers how learning happens, generates evidence that matters, and supports teachers in helping every learner grow, succeed, and thrive.
