The ASU Helios Decision Center for Educational Excellence is a partnership between Arizona State University and Helios Education Foundation. We are bringing together all we know about the education system, the resources of ASU and Helios, and education stakeholders in order to drive positive change and better student outcomes. Partnering with ASU’s Decision Theater and other ASU researchers and thought-leaders, we convene key stakeholders with our Tools & Visualizations to examine the education system and model and visualize the impact of potential new policies and innovative solutions on education outcomes. We also facilitate Impact Projects, which directly support Arizona’s public schools, teachers and students.
