Educational Inequity
Today's teachers are overwhelmed,
overworked, and losing hope.
It doesn't have to be that way.
Now raise your hand if...
You're in charge of teachers who want access to resources to help them connect with their students and they’re looking to you for solutions.
You're preparing the next generation of teachers and you don’t want them to feel limited before they’ve even left the classroom.
You work in educational administration but feel far removed from making educators and students.
Your frustrations have solutions and it’s all in the research. Let me show you and your audience evidence-backed solutions for transforming today's broken educational systems and create real change.
Our Education System Has
Incredible Potential
Imagine a classroom where every decision is backed by solid research, where teachers and students thrive alike because the strategies used are proven to work.
That's not just a dream - the research is already out there, it's a reality we can achieve together.
Matthew Courtney brought energy and enthusiasm to the topics of data and evidence-based research for the purposes of school improvement. His expertise as a researcher and as a practitioner was evident and his passion for using data to drive improvement was contagious. He was very insightful and provided information and ideas educators could easily take back to their school and implement to support their improvement efforts.

Matthew is incredible. He is that wonderful combination of eminently qualified, deeply experienced, and also understanding of an audience. This allows him to approach and pick apart things that might otherwise not be accessible. It also allows you to trust his analysis and point of view. He is a trustworthy and friendly companion; inviting his listeners to be part of a larger solution. And he is approachable off stage, always willing to engage, learn, and further the overall conversation.

I've gotten to know Matthew through our work on the Steering Committee for Education Knowledge Brokers. Based on his expertise, I asked him to be on a panel for our edWeb webinar on Research to Reality. His perspective, experience, and resources on evidence-based decision-making and action research enriched the conversation and made the webinar a success!
