Annenberg Institute for School Reform’s Resources on School Change

Location: Providence, Rhode Island

The Annenberg Institute for School Reform (AISR) at Brown University is a national policy-research and reform support organization that promotes quality education for all children, especially in urban communities. In promotion of "smart education systems," AISR supports capacity building and education organizing by adults and youth, works directly to support district and school change projects, and conducts and publishes research in part through Voices in Urban Education AISR's quarterly journal.

Highlights:

The Annenberg Institute’s mission is “to develop, share, and act on knowledge that improves the conditions and outcomes of schooling in America, especially in urban communities and in schools serving disadvantaged children.” The Institute’s values are embodied in four core principles that emphasize results, equity, community, and learning.

Our focus is on developing and promoting the concept of “smart education systems”; that is, systems that coordinate educational supports and services wherever they occur – at school, at home, and in the community – to provide all children with equitable opportunities and high-quality learning experiences.
