Education for the Future is a not-for-profit initiative located on the California State University, Chico campus that works with learning organizations on systemic change and data analyses that lead to increased learning. They build the capacity of learning organizations to gather, analyze, and use data to continuously improve teaching and learning. The staff of Education for the Future is a group of highly committed professionals who teach others to use data to drive continuous improvement and believe that this type of analysis will enable all schools of every kind to make a difference in the lives of all students. They are passionate about their mission -- to build the capacity of learning organizations at all levels to gather, analyze, and use data to continuously improve teaching and learning. I take several of my teachers and staff members to their summer institute every year and cannot imagine running our school any other way. For the past 21 years Dr. Bernhardt and her staff have delivered excellence personified in a way that is nearly extinct in education today. If you are in education at any capacity contact them. Because they are a non profit and completely dedicated to their mission they do everything they can to help everyone who contacts them. read more
