CNA Education has an established record of helping to improve the quality of education in America by providing critical decision-making support to policymakers, educators, researchers, stakeholders, parents, and students. Our approach combines the scientific rigor of a research institution with a practical, firsthand understanding of education issues and policies and their real-world implications. A fundamental goal is to help educators and executives make better use of research and data to improve their ability to make sound decisions. Our areas of experience include education technology, teacher recruitment and retention, program evaluation, school safety and security, home schooling and later job performance, education reform, non-traditional education alternatives, and post-secondary mathematics education.

Using sophisticated scientific, operational, and policy analysis tools in concert with practical experience, CNA Education works with a variety of education entities, ranging from individual schools and districts, to state and federal policymakers and program managers, to improve the quality of education. CNA Education holds grants and contracts from the U.S. Department of Education, the National Science Foundation, private foundations and associations, and local school districts.
