Organization Summary
The U.S. Education Delivery Institute (EDI) is an innovative non-profit organization that focuses on implementing large-scale system change in public education. Our mission is to partner with K-12 and higher education systems with ambitious reform agendas and invest in their leaders' capacity to deliver results. By employing a proven approach, known as delivery, we help state leaders maintain the necessary focus to plan and drive reform.
EDI provides intensive on-the-ground support, data analytics, ongoing professional development, and a network through which state systems can collectively build their capacity. As a result of our work, we expect to increase the number of well-prepared students who graduate from high school, then enter and succeed in college. We emphasize actions to close the gaps that too often separate low-income students and students of color from others. Our success is based entirely on whether our partner systems achieve these aspirations.
