What We Do

Ms. Race brings to the business diverse experience in the design and conduct of large national-level studies and community-based projects in a variety of venues. As needed, she will bring to a project additional expertise through collaborating with credentialed and experienced colleagues. For example, we have worked with The Study Group, Inc., where we served as a subcontractor to the National Center for Improving Science Education/WestEd on a multiple-year evaluation of the CETPA-PA project. We have served as a subcontractor to Belle Brett,Ed.D. in her work with CityYear, Inc. and she served as a subcontractor to us in our early evaluation work with the Cristo Rey Network of schools. And we have worked with Linda Hudson who has helped create the graphics used to represent the program models that we have developed as well as the graphics presented in this website.
