Over 30 Years of Leadership in Program Evaluation

The Program Evaluation and Research Group (PERG) has been a part of Lesley University since its inception in 1976. PERG is recognized as one of the few evaluation groups in the country to have the capacity and diversity of expertise to address the broad range of projects included in our work. In addition, the group is valued by our clients and funders as a contributor to the larger effort of education reform.

The projects PERG evaluates serve learners in multiple settings in both formal (K–12 and higher education) and informal education (museums, community centers, etc.). Many of these projects bring together business partners, mathematicians and scientists, policy makers, museum staff and educators, as well as the general community.
