About PERTS

The Project for Education Research That Scales (PERTS) is a nonprofit research and development institute that translates insights from psychological science into cutting-edge tools, measures, and recommendations that educators anywhere can use to foster healthy and equitable academic engagement and success. Background Studies by Stanford Professors Carol Dweck, Geoffrey Cohen, and Greg Walton show that short psychological interventions can raise students' motivation and reduce group-based achievement gaps. Because of limited resources, however, few schools could benefit from these interventions. The Challenge Learners are more motivated and successful when they experience learning conditions, like relevant work, high expectations, and a sense of belonging. However, educators rarely get the tools and support they need to establish learning conditions systematically for all their students. That’s why PERTS exists. Mission The Project for Education Research That Scales (PERTS) is an edtech nonprofit founded in 2010 at Stanford University. PERTS equips educators to create excellent and equitable learning conditions—conditions that foster engagement and accelerate learning. To do so, PERTS develops, tests, and scales the impact of evidence-based solutions in collaboration with hundreds of partner organizations.
