DataWORKS Educational Research was approved by the California Department of Education as part of the original group of External Evaluators working with II/USP schools in 1999. Since then we have conducted investigations and written reform plans for about 100 schools under various programs including II/USP, Comprehensive School Reform, High Priority, SAIT, and Program Improvement. We have worked with about 1,400 school implementing school reform including training thousands of teachers, principals, administrators, and superintendents. In addition, we have conducted extensive original research or our own including collecting and analyzing over 2 million student assignments and observing 25,000 teachers.
