Welcome

At The Findings Group (TFG), we partner with K-12 and post-secondary education organizations to help them understand and strengthen the impact of their programs. Based in Atlanta, GA, we bring deep expertise in research and evaluation to support project leaders in making confident, data-informed decisions. Our mission is to make these programs better, to demonstrate whether the program is or is not working, and to ensure project leaders, funders, and stakeholders that their resources are being put to the best possible use.

Our work spans key focus areas in STEM such as computer science education (e.g., EarSketch), AI education (e.g., AI4GA), and mathematics education (e.g., The Accessible Calculus Project). Whether we’re evaluating the outcomes of a professional development or summer camp or co-designing data strategies for classroom visits or a museum installation, we aim to ensure that every investment drives meaningful and measurable change.

We specialize in building trusted partnerships, managing collaborative evaluation processes, and transforming complex or even conflicting data into clear, actionable insights—always with an eye on equity and innovation while keeping up with emerging evaluation trends and practices.

Recent Research

Building robust teacher-led professional learning communities for computer science educators: Insights from CSTA chapters in the U.S.

This study investigated the types of support CSTA chapters provide, how teacher leaders establish local PLCs and engage teachers of computer science, and the challenges encountered in this process.

An Automated, Unobtrusive, Formative Assessment of Creativity in a Computer Science and Music Remixing Learning Environment

In this study, we designed and validated an automated, unobtrusive, formative assessment of creativity in EarSketch, a computational music remixing platform where students learn to write Python or JavaScript code to create pieces of music.
