International Center for Leadership in Education

Effective and Efficient Use of Resources

Process

To guide school and district decision making, the International Center has created the Effectiveness and Efficiency Framework. The E/E Framework compares the efficiency (cost) and effectiveness (student performance) of a wide variety of tools, strategies, professional development, organizational configurations, and procedural decisions schools make.
