It’s no secret the state of education in America is the subject of intense scrutiny. Partisan and non-partisan groups alike are at the ready to weigh in on strategies and programs to improve the quality of American schools. School administrators are tasked with the pressure to find the best evidence-based programs to then adopt and implement. The responsibility can be daunting.

In their Winter 2017 report, they explain how social networks are important in this process.
