Why Grosse Pointe Public Schools is Partnering with Hanover Research
“Hanover painted a very clear picture of how we can meet all our students’ needs and prepare them for high school and beyond. The data Hanover collected to evaluate our mixed-ability science and social studies courses led to our Board of Education unanimously approving the expansion of these programs to the eighth grade. We look forward to the work ahead as we support equitable access and rigor in all of our classrooms.”
– Maureen G. Bur, Director of Secondary Instruction

Why Fairfax County Public Schools is Working with Hanover
“We are a larger district that already has an Office of Program Evaluation. However, the Academic Office wanted an objective, third-party research partner to deliver custom best practices and benchmarking reports to inform some of our new initiatives. We partnered with Hanover because of its extensive experience in K-12 education best practices research as well as its flexible model’s ability to keep pace with our priorities. In the immediate future, we’ll use Hanover to explore best practices for personalized professional development programs and will be taking advantage of the Hanover Digital report library’s collection of existing best practices reports.”
– Dr. Francisco Durán, Chief Academic Officer, Fairfax County Public Schools

Why Kansas City Public Schools is Partnering with Hanover Research
“With many priorities and little time, we want to impact change as quickly as possible. To do so, we felt we needed external expert guidance and support. Hanover comes with a great reputation and experience, making them a natural choice for us. In the coming year, we want to self-reflect and self-evaluate with an open and honest view of our internal structures and processes. We believe we are best equipped to do that with Hanover. To others considering working with a third party to tackle issues in the classroom and central office, we advise they be brave enough to use outside influence and expertise to hold themselves accountable. External partners, like Hanover, force honest conversation at the highest levels.”
– Linda Quinley, Chief Financial and Operations Officer
