Matthew Courtney brought energy and enthusiasm to the topics of data and evidence-based research for the purposes of school improvement. His expertise as a researcher and as a practitioner was evident and his passion for using data to drive improvement was contagious. He was very insightful and provided information and ideas educators could easily take back to their school and implement to support their improvement efforts.

Matthew is incredible. He is that wonderful combination of eminently qualified, deeply experienced, and also understanding of an audience. This allows him to approach and pick apart things that might otherwise not be accessible. It also allows you to trust his analysis and point of view. He is a trustworthy and friendly companion; inviting his listeners to be part of a larger solution. And he is approachable off stage, always willing to engage, learn, and further the overall conversation.

I've gotten to know Matthew through our work on the Steering Committee for Education Knowledge Brokers. Based on his expertise, I asked him to be on a panel for our edWeb webinar on Research to Reality. His perspective, experience, and resources on evidence-based decision-making and action research enriched the conversation and made the webinar a success!

​My diverse background as a practitioner, researcher, and policy maker give me a unique perspective on the educational landscape. I've successfully consulting for various organizations, including:

  • The Center for Research Use in Education where I reviewed and improved a home-grown curriculum.

  • The Alliance to Save Energy where I designed a data management and reporting system for better evidence-informed decisions.

  • The Southeast South Central Education Cooperative where I developed coaching methods to support classroom teachers in using research to solve real-time problems.
