Policy, Organization, Measurement, and Evaluation (POME)
Programs in Policy, Organization, Measurement, and Evaluation (POME) foster rigorous research to understand the complexity of the educational system and to shape practical applications that are morally sound, effective, and technically sophisticated. Central to our work is the commitment to help good schooling become a reality.
Good schools strive toward deep understanding, high performance, and educational justice. They develop within broader economic, political, institutional, and societal contexts that foster life chances, equal opportunity, and democratic participation for the nation’s great diversity of students. Good schools are created when leaders, professionals, and community members develop their educational and human potential in conducive organizational settings and when policies are designed to counteract structural inequality.
Four advanced degree programs are designed to provide students with the knowledge and experience to make important contributions to educational research, policy, and practice:
Policy and Organizations Research
Quantitative Methods and Evaluation
Program Evaluation and Assessment
POME also offers a professional program leading to a Tier I Administrative Services Credential and a master’s degree:
Principal Leadership Institute
Our programs offer students the tools to
- Understand how history, social structure, organizations, and cultures shape actions in schools and school systems;
- Examine the goals and values that guide educational research, teaching, school improvement, and policy;
- Engage in studies and initiatives to improve educational policies and practices;
- Apply methods of gathering and analyzing evidence appropriate to the multiple levels and complex realities of schooling, and develop new methods as needed.
Our approach to graduate study merges a cohort model with formal coursework, one-on-one faculty advising, participation in research groups, and a wide range of research apprenticeships.
