About SLI
Policy Development
SLI has contributed to public discussions of issues central to school improvement and accelerating learning, and has provided data and background information to public policy-makers at the local, state, and federal level. SLI welcomes opportunities to work with organizations interested in advancing school improvement as a priority for public policy everywhere.
SLI employees participate actively in a number of research activities and other studies of how to accelerate student and adult learning.
Among the areas where SLI has provided key research leadership was authoring The Chicago Community Trust’s report “School Reform in Chicago: Lessons and Opportunities.” This study helped lay the groundwork for the Trust’s visionary $50 million Education Initiative, which is currently supporting excellent projects throughout Chicago.
SLI is a frequent contributor to educational conferences across the country.
