U.S. Education Delivery Institute

The U.S. Education Delivery Institute (EDI) was an innovative non-profit organization that focuses on implementing large-scale system change in public education. Our mission was to partner with K-12 and higher education systems with ambitious reform agendas and invest in their leaders' capacity to deliver results. By employing an approach known as delivery, a proven methodology for effective implementation in the public sector, we helped state and campus leaders to 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.
