the epic difference
EPIC is a research center devoted to the idea that rigorous evidence can improve education policy, and, ultimately, students’ lives. We employ a number of cutting-edge methods – from predictive analytics and modeling to surveys and case studies – to produce new insights that decision-makers can use to create and implement new policy.
CLOSE PARTNERSHIPS
EPIC partners with the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) and local school districts to craft a tailored research agenda that explores the specific questions and issues that education policymakers and practitioners are grappling with today.
timely research
Then, our researchers use a variety of methods and sources to integrate data across different contexts and ultimately produce rigorous, timely and actionable findings.
actionable findings
Along the way, EPIC shares with our partners what we’re learning to guide decisions on policy and practice in real time and continue to evolve their research agenda.
THE RESULTS: Improved Educational Outcomes for all Students
Together with our partners, we are ultimately working to improve educational outcomes for all kids, providing evidence to inform decisions that affect students, teachers and school leaders in urban, rural and historically disadvantaged communities.
EPIC’s unique process works because partners are committed to and invested in deep, reciprocal collaboration.
