Center for Knowledge Use in Education
The NEKIA Center for Knowledge Use in Education
"Using Knowledge for a Change"
In 2003 Knowledge Alliance (then known as NEKIA) launched a major effort to examine how knowledge generated through research is developed, applied and used in k-12 education. In early 2006 we established the NEKIA Center for Knowledge Use in Education (a 501 c 3 non partisan, non profit organization) to advance knowledge use concepts in school improvment.
The Center is founded on the belief that the effective use of education knowledge can significantly enhance and accelerate the nationwide efforts to improve academic performance and close achievement gaps in k-12 education. Education knowledge can and should be an essential factor in shaping policy and practice at all levels.
The Center's programmatic activites are guided by the Principles of Effective Knowledge Use and include policy forums, special projects, articles, and conferences.
