Trust is earned. We go to the lengths of verifying our results through the Applied Research Center because this work matters to us.

The Applied Research Center strengthens ethical norms in the scientific and educational community. We transparently share data with our partners regardless of the findings because trust comes from transparency. We do not conceal results, and we aim to learn from them. This transparency is ultimately what helps move our partner schools forward and facilitates constructive conversations about areas for improvement. These conversations often clear the path to move a school forward.

Edconnect Ghana cares deeply about our social mission of ending generational poverty and eliminating racial achievement gaps through rigorous core instruction, and it is imperative to us that our methodologies are effective. Our team members have such a strong and consistent track record in school advancement because we align ourselves to research and hold ourselves to the highest standards set by our independent Applied Research Center.

We have an obligation to strengthen the ethical norms in the educational community because knowing the objective results is the only way in which we can move all schools forward.

Everything we do is both research-based and evidence-based. We start with a strong theoretical research basis, but we don’t stop there. We rigorously test our methods to prove they achieve replicable results in various situations, across various populations of students.

Every activity, strategy, and intervention we use has attained or is in the process of attaining criteria for evidence-based practices under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
