Services
SERVE is a university-based, non-profit center dedicated to the most efficient and effective use of data, research, and evaluation at all levels of the education. When SERVE began, the challenges that schools faced were lack of data and access to research. Today, the challenges for leaders often lie in too much information and too little time to make sense of the vast amount of data, research, and evaluation. Thus, we commit to helping educational leaders make sense of the complicated array of data, research, and evaluation available in light of their particular issues, organizational challenges, or specific needs and time frames. We work closely with our clients to understand their organizational context, then design tailored services that result in timely, relevant, and responsive information to inform strategies, policies, programs, and practices.
What We Do
SERVE’s external evaluation work includes impact evaluations of educational interventions and descriptive process evaluations.
SERVE’s facilitation services enhance clients’ internal capacity to use research and data to inform planning and strategic decision-making.
In it’s nearly 30 year history, SERVE has honed its expertise as a center that provides relevant, timely, and high-quality technical assistance and capacity building to our clients.
