Applications for Fall 2026 are closed for this project.
This research will help develop a national database of K-12 state mid-level education agencies across the US. It aims to inform new research on the role of mid-level agencies in supporting education across different states. This will advance our thinking on how education can improve in a decentralized system.
Role: Students are tasked to analyze state legislation and related policy documents, source through relevant financial datasets, and synthesize findings in research memos. They will be part of a collaborative effort connecting findings to broader questions on education improvement, politics, and governance.
Qualifications: Students should be interested in social science research, invested in education improvement, and able to work in a group.
Hours: to be negotiated
