Education Research and Practice is hosted and the product of the Public Education & Business Coalition (PEBC). The context and conversations are guided by our Advisory Board, and the content and form of this site are directed by our Advisors.   PEBC, a Colorado-based non-profit partnership of business and education leaders based in Denver, Colorado, commits to strengthening public schools and improving academic achievement for all students.

Our program of work is organized around two central areas of focus:

            ·          Professional development services and products and

         ·          Public policy

both of which guide our mission to cultivate excellence in public schools so all students succeed in learning and in life.
