Learn MoreThe Hoover Education Success Initiative (HESI) seeks to elevate the role of analysis and evidence in state educational decision making by amassing the relevant research and advancing its use through active engagement with state and local policymakers. To ensure that evidence is relevant and has an impact, the leadership team at HESI engages with its Practitioner Council, composed of local, state, and national policy leaders.
