Strategic Education Research Partnership Institute

“The executive director, director of operations, and the finance director review the 990 tax return upon receipt from the preparer. Each reviews the return separately, and then they meet to review and answer any questions each person may have. Once the 990 is approved internally, the 990 tax return is forwarded to the treasurer of the board for an independent review. Any questions or concerns from the treasurer of the board are directed to the executive director. Once the treasurer and the executive director are satisfied as to the completion of the 990 tax return, the tax return is forwarded to the remaining board of directors for their review. Once the full board reviews, the executive director signs the return for filing.”

“The organization annually reviews the conflict of interest policy each may with the board of directors and key employees. Each are required to disclose any item that may present a conflict of interest.”

“The executive director is reviewed annually by the board of directors at their board meeting regarding compensation.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available to the public upon request.”

“The strategic education research partnership generates innovative, scalable solutions to our schools' most pressing problems through sustained collaborations among researchers, practitioners, and designers. We work to increase equity, improve student learning, and give teachers and students greater agency.”

“Scaling students' success with stari: expanding eligibility, support, and spread serp was awarded a five-year, 15-million education innovation and research (eir) expansion-phase grant starting in january 2023 to build the capacity to scale the strategic adolescent reading intervention (stari). This grant will support the program's adoption in four states in different regions of the country, and to study its effectiveness with these different populations. The goals for the project are: 1. To improve the reading skills of middle school students, demonstrating effects of stari as compared to business-as-usual on reading behaviors, proximal reading skills (readbasix), progress toward meeting grade-level standards (state tests), and leading indicators of distal outcomes (course pass rates). 2. To build teacher capacity for effective literacy instruction and to measure the impact of stari professional learning on teachers' knowledge and instructional practice. 3. To determine for whom and under what conditions stari is most effective by examining outcomes for subgroups (students reading far below grade level, students with ieps, english learners). 4. To create an affordable, sustainable package of supports for schools thatchoose to implement stari outside of a grant-funded research study. 5. To disseminate results and expand the use of stari nationwide.”

“Sustaining literacy practices over time: codifying knowledge through micro-credentialing serp received a four-year, two-million-dollar grant from ies to partner with the district of columbia public schools (dcps), and a research team from harvard and the university of maryland to develop and test an intervention consisting of two micro-credential courses. The first course will target effective use of student time in literacy centers, a structure for instruction used in the large majority of k-2 classrooms. The second course will target the use of academically productive talk (apt), an instructional practice that supports deep reading comprehension and student engagement but is not widely used. Both courses are being developed in collaboration with dcps literacy leaders. Dcps k-2 classrooms footage is being collected and will be incorporated into instructional videos featuring researchers and dcps literacy leaders. Course content will be revised in response to feedback from teachers in usability studies conducted through an iterative development process. Schools will be randomly assigned to participate in each of the courses in year 3 of the study. Eligible teachers in the treatment schools will include those in grades k-2 who are in their first three years of teaching, and those who are in warning status on their teacher evaluation. The impact of the courses on teachers' practice and student learning will be evaluated.”

“Adapting stari to accelerate student reading achievement in middle grades serp was awarded a two-year, 1-million grant as part of ies' leveraging evidence to accelerate recovery nationwide (learn) network, which focuses on adapting and preparing to scale existing, evidence-based products that have the potential to accelerate students' learning relative to pre- pandemic rates of growth. The purpose of this project is to further adapt and assess the impact of the strategic adolescent reading intervention (stari) to respond to the urgent need to accelerate learning among middle grades students reading two or more years below grade level. The goals of this project are to identify barriers to uptake and implementation of the program, to develop the highest priority adaptations that address students' needs, and to test the effects of stari on students' academic outcomes. Adaptations will be prioritized according to a roughly estimated rate of return, and the highest priority adaptations will be undertaken within the grant period to the extent possible. The research team will assess the effectiveness of stari for accelerating student reading growth using a regression discontinuity design that will allow for comparison of students who participate in stari in one partner district with those who do not. The team will also compare current stari students' growth trajectories with reading growth of middle school students in the same schools in 2017-18 and 2018-19, in order to analyze stari's effectiveness as compared with pre- pandemic rates of growth.”
