education policy

Two Mason centers will collaborate on a project that aims to better connect research to practice in education policymaking, and support school divisions in improving student and teacher performance and enhancing the effectiveness and fairness of resource allocation through data-driven decision making.

The study, co-authored by Seth B. Hunter, assistant professor of education leadership in the College of Education and Human Development, and Matthew Springer at University of North Carolina, represents the first in-depth examination into whether recently implemented teacher evaluation programs improve teacher skills.
