The Charles A. Dana Center was founded in 1991 and is now staffed by nearly 80 individuals, including mathematics and science educators, program evaluators, former school administrators, and experts in professional development, early literacy, and students living in homelessness. We are nationally recognized for our work in raising student achievement in K-14 math and science, especially in communities that serve low-income populations. We do this by providing direct service to schools, districts, and institutions of higher education; to local, state, and national education leaders; to professional organizations and nonprofits; and to policy makers and governing agencies concerned with strengthening American education. We have worked with 90 percent of Texas’s more than 1000 school districts and 50 community colleges, while also working intensively in over 20 states and in national coalitions to create significant impact at scale. We are committed to ensuring that the accident of where a child attends school does not limit the academic opportunities he or she can pursue.
The Dana Center staff bring a rich collective expertise in teaching, instructional leadership, administration, curriculum development, evaluation, services to high-need populations, and policy advocacy. We carry out our work largely through project-specific teams, which enable us to rapidly iterate through a design, develop, and review process leading to fast delivery of high-quality resources and services. We strive for nimbleness and a balance between evolutionary work – building on what has worked in the past – and revolutionary work – innovating new solutions to emerging issues.
