Strategic Alliances in Education

Strategic alliances are partnerships between two or more organizations working together to solve a problem or issue of mutual concern. Alliances are often voluntary, enduring partnerships that involve resource sharing and joint decision-making. Examples of alliances in education include public-private partnerships and school networks, such as charter school management organizations.

CEG's work in this area focuses on studying the use of alliances across the public, for-profit and nonprofit sectors to improve the delivery of education services. In the past, CEG also conducted research on the Annenberg Challenge in Los Angeles, a reform that used school networks as vehicles to improve student achievement.
