EDI's Mission Statement:

The U.S. Education Delivery Institute (EDI) is an innovative non-profit organization that focuses on implementing large-scale system change in public education.  Our mission is to partner with K-12 and higher education systems with ambitious reform agendas and invest in their leaders’ capacity to deliver results.  By employing an approach known as delivery, a proven methodology for effective implementation in the public sector, we help state leaders maintain the necessary focus to plan and drive reform.
 
EDI provides intensive on-the-ground support, data analytics, ongoing professional development, and a network through which state systems can collectively build their capacity.  As a result of our work, we expect to increase the number of well-prepared students who graduate from high school, then enter and succeed in college.  We emphasize actions to close the gaps that too often separate low-income students and students of color from others.  Our success is based entirely on whether our partner systems achieve these aspirations.
 
In order to better support our partner systems and ensure we fulfill our vision and mission, we have set four organizational goals:

1. EDI partners will apply the principles and practices of the delivery approach well and increase the likelihood of delivering on their goals.
2. EDI will be regarded as an expert resource of practical knowledge on how to implement large-scale improvements in education.
3. EDI’s organizational culture will be characterized by collaboration, continuous learning, and a high standard of professional behavior.
4. EDI will attract well-qualified employees, new partners and sources of funding, and will exercise fiscal responsibility.
