New Globe supports visionary governments to transform public education systems the cornerstone of a prosperous, equitable, and peaceful society. With a comprehensive system transformation platform and data-driven educational services, New Globe delivers rapid and dramatic improvements in learning outcomes at state and nationwide scale. Through impactful partnerships and programs, New Globe ensures that all children have access to an education that helps them reach their full potential and lays the foundation for growth and prosperity.

New Globe leverages more than a decade of experience and demonstrated impact in integrated school management, teacher professional development, instructional design innovation, technological system support, child-centered classroom practice, and parent engagement all grounded in learning science. This ensures every teacher is empowered to deliver transformational learning, and every child has the opportunity to thrive.

Every day, New Globe supports governments in solving challenges once seen as intractable. In doing so, it enables a generation to grow up with the knowledge and skills to lead more fulfilled lives while building economic prosperity for themselves, their communities, and the world. New Globe's high-touch, intensive professional development programs, combined with integrated school management, teacher support, and assessment software, enable schools to succeed.

The organization works within national curricula and syllabi, ensuring children are empowered to learn their history and master local content, while remaining globally competitive in mathematics and languages. The science of behavior change and the science of learning form the foundation of all programming.

New Globe works with urgency because youth quickly becomes adulthood and with relentlessness, because real improvement demands constant problem-solving. It is honored to serve and to help rebuild trust in public systems. New Globe's work is wide-ranging and deeply meaningful. It will challenge you to use your full mind and heart each day. We need bright minds who want to build a new, more equitable globe to join us.

The objective of the Academics group is to drive student achievement. To do so, we must know what is happening minute-by-minute for the typical child. The student's daily experience, and thus the path to achievement, emerges from their relationship with the teachers and the content that is delivered in the classroom. Our team is collaboratively organized around these levers. We develop rigorous content pitched at the right level for students to be delivered by a teacher who is prepared to succeed in the classroom.

Our Instructional Design department builds the content; our Print and Digital Publishing teams distribute the content through various channels; our Leadership & Development department trains teachers and school leaders using scientifically-proven techniques. Underpinning all of this is the work of the Research, Measurement and Evaluation team, which provides our Group with an empirical orientation toward improving that daily experience and, in turn, driving achievement.

The Research, Measurement & Evaluation (RME) team at New Globe is housed within the Academics Group and collaborates across departments to help leaders assess the quality of teaching and learning. We work to answer the core questions: "How well are we doing?", "Are we getting better?", and "How can we get even better?" We blend quantitative analyses with qualitative fieldwork to measure what matters most, provide feedback to New Globe school leaders and managers, assess our impact on student learning, and communicate results to various internal and external audiences.

At the heart of our work is comparative analysis. We compare student learning at New Globe across time and place. In all our locations, we examine how much faster New Globe students learn than their peers in similar schools. We analyze how student performance today compare to performance in the past. We study sub-groups of students to advance equity. We assess variability across schools to determine which characteristics matter most to student learning.

We help New Globe managers evaluate the impact of the changes they have made to accelerate learning.

We take pride in providing rigorous measurement, study design, and analysis. We also take pride in our ability to communicate clearly through words, tables, and data visualizations. We aim for our work to make a difference in how New Globe managers and government partners think and act, and we judge our own work accordingly.
