    Brief

    This opportunity involves conducting cross-sectional surveys of school leaders to evaluate school improvement practices. The surveys will gather data on the effectiveness and implementation of the government's Universal RISE (Regional Improvement for Standards and Excellence) school improvement service. This is a key research component that will inform a comprehensive evaluation plan assessing how schools are adopting improvement strategies and achieving excellence standards. Potential suppliers should have experience in educational research, survey design and administration, and data collection from school leadership populations.
