WestEd has been a leader in moving research into practice by conducting research and development programs, projects, and evaluations; by providing training and technical assistance; and by working with policymakers and practitioners at state and local levels to carry out large-scale school improvement and innovative change efforts.

Services WestEd will provide to MDUSD include:
• Pre-planning, including Cabinet member data collection and initial review of MDUSD’s current plans that will need to be aligned with the LCAP priority areas.
