Helping leaders to finance and sustain education reform initiatives that help students succeed
This practice group works to help teachers, school and district leaders, and policymakers stay on top of current trends reshaping the financing and delivery of kindergarten through Grade 12 education across the nation. Our goal is to help leaders better understand, implement, and evaluate practices that best meet the needs of their school districts, students, and teachers. Our work is supported by a national advisory group. We also produce policy research reports, maintain a clearinghouse, and identify promising practices through collaboration with leading scholars, universities, and other organizations.
We offer specialized services and supports, including research, consulting, technical assistance, and training.

The Finance Project Presents at National Academy of Sciences
The Finance Project was invited to present to the Committee on Evaluation of Teacher Certification by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) of the National Academy of Sciences. On June 9, Practice Group Leader Carol Cohen and TFP consultant Jennifer King Rice presented and responded to the group’s questions about their research study, National Board Certification as Professional Development: Design and Cost.
