Advancing K-12 education through innovation in teaching, learning and leadership, we bring together students, teachers, researchers, policymakers and educational professionals to foster collaborations that improve education for all learners.
When I think of the Friday Institute, I think of support, partnership, collaboration, innovation. When I’m in a box and I need thought leadership on any of those areas, my first turn is to the Friday Institute.

The Friday Institute is the administrative lead and strategic research partner for the newly formed Blue Ribbon Commission on Public Education, supporting the coordination, convening and evidence development behind its work.
The Friday Institute convenes and connects stakeholders to catalyze change and innovation in education. See below for the resources we provide to the groups we serve and partner with.
Built on research-based models of effective professional development, professional learning communities and online communities of practice, our courses focus on job-embedded, peer-supported and self-directed learning.
