Through all of its efforts, the ILS is immersed in the day-to-day
reality of educators in public schools, after-school programs, and adult education classes
across the city. As a research institute, the ILS has responsibilities that extend beyond
our extensive work in staff development and school improvement. Our research and
evaluation activities consider the implications of our methods and result in dissemination
of findings from our work not only with teachers and administrators but also with a wider
community of educators and policy analysts.
