National Education Research

NWEA publishes studies to inform decisions at national, regional, and district levels.

Conducting research is foundational to our work. We use our findings to guide us into the future of educational practice and policy.

To ensure that policies are effectively helping kids, we study their impact on learning. We apply our expertise in the arena of growth measurement, assessment, and scientifically-based evidence to produce informative studies. These studies inform decisions at national, regional, and district levels.
