Better schools help make better communities and improve students’ chances of success. AIR experts use research-based strategies to help schools and districts build systems that improve outcomes and sustain improvements over time.
Ten of 18 school improvement models, used in thousands of middle and high schools, demonstrate promising evidence of raising student achievement, according to a first-of-its-kind comprehensive review of research on the models conducted by AIR.
The Region 9 Comprehensive Center, operated by AIR through a U.S. Department of Education grant since October 2019, provides intensive capacity-building services to state education agencies and other education stakeholders in Illinois and Iowa.
A team of experts for AIR played a key role in producing "The 2010 Condition of Education," an annual statistical portrait of the state of education in the United States. The report was released by the federal government’s National Center on Education Statistics (NCES).
