EPRRI, the Educational Policy Reform Research Institute, is a federally funded program that is increasing our knowledge and understanding of ways that students with disabilities can be fully included in educational accountability measures.

EPRRI's work features policy analyses, research, and dissemination. EPRRI involves and serves policymakers, practitioners, parents/families, advocates, and consumers.

EPRRI is a collaboration among three nationally prominent organizations:

1 The Institute for the Study of Exceptional Children and Youth at the University of Maryland (UM)
2 National Center on Educational Outcomes (NCEO) at the University of Minnesota
3 Urban Special Education Leadership Collaborative at Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC)

All of EPRRI's work focuses on two key goals:

1 Researching and examining challenges of bringing students with disabilities into new accountability system
2
Promoting a national dialogue on accountability
