Evaluation & Impact Design
RCT, quasi-experimental, and matched-comparison studies built for rigor and WWC alignment — from covariate strategy to robustness checks.
Educational Consulting & Metrics
Evaluation and evidence strategy for education's hardest questions.
NovaEventus Educational Consulting and Metrics helps state and local education agencies — and the research organizations that serve them — design defensible evaluations, strengthen evidence, and translate complex data into sound decisions.
What we do
Four ways we strengthen the evidence behind decisions.
Evidence & Research Strategy
Need-sensing, proposal positioning, and evidence framing that make research applied, competitive, and policy-relevant.
Assessment & Data Systems
Screening, diagnostic, and growth-model design; multi-source data integration; dashboards that turn analysis into decisions.
Policy & Capacity Building
State accountability, early-literacy and READ Act–type initiatives, and sustainable capacity for the agencies doing the work.
The view from every chair
Most evaluation advice comes from a single vantage point. Dr. Eric C. Mason has worked from all of them — generating the data as a district director of assessment, shaping policy on a state advisory committee, and overseeing federally funded research as a scientist at the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences. That complete perspective informs every NovaEventus engagement.
