Rennie Center for Education Research and Policy
Through the Rennie Center for Education Research & Policy's staunch commitment to independent, non-partisan research and constructive conversations, they work to promote an education system that provides every child with the opportunity to be successful in school and in life. The Rennie Center’s mission is to improve public education through well-informed decision-making based on deep knowledge and evidence of effective policymaking and practice. As Massachusetts’ preeminent voice in public education reform, they create open spaces for educators and policymakers to consider evidence, discuss cutting-edge issues, and develop new approaches to advance student learning and achievement.
Project Description
The Rennie Center will evaluate digital badging efforts in Providence and Boston, investigating the student, program, community, and system-level outcomes associated with digital badging programs, focusing on three central themes which emerged during the 2017-2018 pilot: equity of access and opportunity, digital badge currency, and postsecondary linkages. |
