Our research team has been very impressed with the professionalism, commitment, and especially the rich collegial collaboration that Magnolia Consulting has brought to each of the randomized, control trial efficacy studies completed for National Geographic School Publishing in the past two years. In addition to working with us to design cost-effective, yet rigorous studies, Dr. Stephanie Baird Wilkerson and her knowledgeable team have been highly collaborative in working with us to create/adapt powerful data collection tools that ensure teachers’ study logs and classroom observations capture evidence of effective program implementation. Our team uses this valuable information to support customers as they implement new programs beyond the study. Magnolia Consulting is a true vanguard when it comes to providing ongoing and open communication, collegial collaboration, attention to detail, and useful study results.

Magnolia Consulting has been an excellent organization to work with in completing a number of projects in our portfolio of field-based research and development projects. Magnolia has added value and rigor to our study designs, data collection and analysis plans, and reports in each and every project. The staff are a pleasure to work with and I can always count on them to deliver quality, on time, and within budget. We couldn’t ask for a better research and development partner.

As director of the NASA Dawn Mission Education and Public Outreach Program, I have used Magnolia’s services for over 10 years. I have found them effective, efficient, and creative.  Magnolia has worked closely with us as a partner to design, create, and implement all of our assessment plans. Their input is invaluable and their experience has saved us time and money. Magnolia’s thoroughness and attention to detail has provided both formative and summative reports that are clear and meaningful with specific actions that inform the development of our program.
