Reaching others
To have an impact, research results must be communicated to others. RFA has experience communicating to a broad and diverse audience – parents and students, teachers and administrators, policymakers and public officials, media and others – on issues that range from school climate to school reform. Because we actively disseminate our findings and seek opportunities to showcase our work, our studies play a prominent role in the dialogue on public education in Pennsylvania and nationwide.

For the media
RFA experts routinely work with members of the media to discuss issues of urban school reform and public education. Our staff members share a unique perspective gained through an intimate understanding of education research, as well as a deep engagement with practitioners, policymakers, advocates and community stakeholders.
