NEERA
The Northwestern Evanston Educational Research Alliance (NEERA) is a collaborative initiative that brings together District 202, District 65, and Northwestern University partners. NEERA focuses on data-sharing, research alignment, and building capacity for the Research and Evaluation Departments within the school districts.
As a leader in the national network of the National Network of Education Research-Practice Partnerships (NNERPP), NEERA supports numerous collaborative efforts with ETHS. Through this partnership, NEERA facilitates independent, objective evaluation of major ETHS initiatives, supports the work of research fellows who collaborate with the ETHS Research and Evaluation Department, and assists teachers in designing evidence-based best practices.
These collaborations enhance the quality and impact of educational programs and initiatives, providing valuable insights that help to shape policies and practices in Evanston schools. Additionally, the Partnership Office works to support Northwestern students and faculty to learn from the transformative educational environment at ETHS.
