More Info

General Info: RFA is a Philadelphia-based, non-profit organization engaged in education research and evaluation. Founded in 1992, RFA works with public school districts, educational institutions, and community organizations to improve the educational opportunities for those traditionally disadvantaged by race/ethnicity, class, gender, language/cultural difference, and ability/disability. Research for Action was founded by women who aimed to connect their social activism, feminist beliefs, and professional practice as education researchers. Basic tenets for RFA's approach to evaluation emerge from feminist theory. RFA continues to draw national attention as an organization that exemplifies the value of being a locally-focused, applied research organization. We were mentioned in a recent issue of Voices in Urban Education ( VUE ), published by the Annenberg Institute for School Reform, as being an organization that typifies the kind of close relationship that helps bridge the gap between research and practice and ensures that research is attuned to local conditions.
