📢 Excited to announce the launch of the Annenberg EdExchange! "The current way we create and share research just isn't working for the people who need it most," says our Director of Applied Research, Nate Schwartz. "With the EdExchange, we are building a collaborative environment where everyone can work together to better define needs, generate evidence, and make meaning across a common body of knowledge." 📚 EdWorkingPapers: Rapid dissemination of emerging research 📊 EdInstruments: A comprehensive library of measurement tools 📝 EdResearchForAction: Clear, actionable research summaries Think of the EdExchange as a "town square" where researchers, practitioners, and policymakers can collaborate to turn evidence into action. Our goal is simple: we want to make education research work better for everyone. Why does this matter? ➡️ Schools are under increasing pressure to implement proven strategies ➡️ The research landscape is fragmented and often disconnected from practical needs ➡️ Education leaders need better access to evidence for decision-making The EdExchange solves these challenges by: 🔷 Making research more practical and readily available  🔷 Creating a collaborative ecosystem for knowledge sharing  🔷 Supporting data-driven improvement efforts Explore the EdExchange: https://lnkd.in/eEDsz3jn  Together, we can build thriving schools based on evidence that works.
