Education
Ensuring all students receive a quality education
Acting on the belief that every child has the ability to learn.
The Bush Institute uses data and research to showcase the need for both strong accountability and effective school principals. High-quality measurements empower school leaders, educators, and parents to be informed of how their schools and students perform relative to others while providing insights into effective interventions. Strong school leaders set a positive school culture for children and adults that focuses on student academic success.
We partner with nationally-known research organizations, policymakers, and school districts to generate new research to advance the field of principal leadership and to share comparable education data and promising accountability practices. We also provide grants to schools to ensure their libraries have the books their students need.
