About the Institute
The Institute for Innovation in Education (IIE) takes an interdisciplinary approach in its pursuit of conducting educational and translational research and administering research-informed professional development initiatives with the goal of improving teaching and learning in Washington, DC, and beyond. Projects support and engage educators as they affirm, benefit, respect, and value traditionally underrepresented student groups (including students from historically resilient communities and students with disabilities). Researchers and practitioners partner to study educational policies and interventions using a wide-ranging set of methodological and analytical approaches. Please explore our current projects below and reach out if you would like to partner with us.
