Building Capacity for Educational Improvement

ICF provides training and technical assistance on education initiatives that drive positive and long-lasting change at the national, state, and local level.

ICF International builds this capacity to improve outcomes at all levels by:

Working with leaders to use and disseminate data to inform decisions
Assisting leaders to foster and implement innovation
Providing customized technical assistance and training grounded in real-world experience and evidence-based practice
