Joan DeJaeghere, professor in the Department of Organizational Leadership, Policy, and Development (OLPD) Comparative and International Development Education program, was recently appointed to the International Working Group (IWG) of Education.org. Education.org is an independent non-profit organization, supported by various international foundations and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). They aim to make evidence more accessible and usable to educational decision-makers. She was recently invited to give two presentations on Qualitative Data Uses and Users and Assessing Quality of Qualitative Evidence at their initial convening in Nairobi, Kenya. DeJaeghere will work with Education.org over the next year as they develop a working paper to guide governmental decision-makers on using educational evidence. The IWG will also review lessons learned from piloting the process and guidance in several countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
