Our Work

Oregon Senate Bill 13 (Tribal History/Shared History) provided funding to all nine federally recognized Tribes in the state to develop their own Tribally specific curriculum.

Out-of-school time (OST) programs offer critical opportunities for learning related to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).

At Portland Community College (PCC), first-generation and low-income students can receive support to overcome those barriers through Future Connect, a scholarship and advising program.

CTE can be a powerful tool for preparing students for college and career success. High-quality programs deliver rigorous academic and technical coursework sequenced across high school and postsecondary education.

Education Northwest partnered with CCBUTI to develop a Tribal curriculum to enable students and educators in South Umpqua to learn about the Tribe, its history, its culture, and its continuing importance in the local community.

In partnership with the Arkansas Department of Education, we addressed inequities facing students who are emergent bilingual and strengthened instructional practice across the state.

Education Northwest partnered with Stone Child College to help them better understand the educational and career outcomes its students, many of whom are members of the Chippewa Cree Tribe, experienced after they left the school.

Through a research partnership, we helped Washington state address its teacher shortage and increase teacher diversity.

Oregon Promise is a financial aid program for community college students. We used data to study which students the program reaches and how they are impacted.

What were the reach and impacts of Oregon Promise—the second statewide promise program in the nation—on students’ postsecondary success?

Alaska created its Pre-Elementary Grants in 2016 to support locally designed preschool options. We studied the program and its outcomes.

To support diversity in the workforce, we looked at where candidates tend to leave the six steps of the Washington state educator career pathway.

This report highlights opportunities to help students with disabilities succeed in community college, from policy to advocacy to future research.

We studied how Washington state school districts implemented the state’s new high school graduation requirements.

Which Oregon students participate in career and technical education programs—and what are the outcomes? We analyzed over ten years of data to find out.
