who we are
NashvillePeer engages educators, families, students, and the community with researchers to examine longstanding problems, understand their complexities, and help district and community leaders make decisions at the school and district levels. By joining forces to better understand these challenges and to co-design and implement solutions, NashvillePeer focuses the time, attention, and resources necessary to ensure every student is known, supported, and prepared to thrive.

We enact full cycles of research, design, and implementation, with researchers and practitioners collaborating at every step. We are committed to rigorously, creatively, and collaboratively putting our research-backed recommendations into action, studying whether and how they work—and how effective solutions can be brought to scale across our district.
NashvillePeer researchers and educators work in partnership through every stage of the research cycle. We invest in building relationships, strengthening communication channels, and creating infrastructure for a deep, equal, and lasting partnership.
Our joint Steering Committee and cross-institutional Working Groups are key to our collaboration, as are the voices of students, teachers, families, and community members.
