What is the Education Research Project?

Education Research Project is a national, independent research organization that conducts research on educational products, services, and trends for public and private institutions on a national, regional, and local basis. Since 1990, the Education Research Project has worked to discover what you (the front-line educator, supervisor, principal, or administrator) find works or doesn't work -- and what's needed or not needed -- in today's classrooms. Our work is solely for research purposes, does not involve sales of any kind, and guarantees protection of participants' names and privacy.

We're Recruiting Front-Line Educators To Help Shape The Future.
Our special niche in the arena of education research is to find educators who have experience, dedication and ideas of what works with primary and secondary school students. We ask front-line educators and other education professionals from across the nation to offer insights, opinions, and advice for the improvement of educational products, programs, and services.

Participation in our research projects generally involves anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours of their time. Before educators become involved, they know the scope of the project and approximately how long it will take. And, we compensate them appropriately.

Recruiting/Enlistment
We build our lists of interested teachers, supervisors, coordinators, and administrators from various referral sources and through registration by educators either via our Website or on-site at conferences and conventions. We build our contact database though:

How your ideas, insights and opinions help us.

You may be testing an idea, developing or comparing a product or service -- or some element of it. Both public and private organizations use the results of the research to guide the development of new curricula, software, textbooks, web sites, and other leading-edge educational materials and programs.

How We Repay You.

Because we value the professional opinions of our participants, those who take part in our research projects typically receive a gratuity. Gratuities will vary depending upon the time and effort required for each individual project.

How We Handle Your Information.

Our projects are strictly for purposes of research and do not involve sales of any kind. The information provided by each of our participants -- including name, address, phone number, school and any other background you provide -- is kept confidential.
