30 Single-country studies Dissemination events across studies Multi-country studies 66 07 09 Supporting Holistic and Actionable Research in Education (SHARE) is a cooperative agreement between USAID and the University of Notre Dame advancing global education priorities. The scope of SHARE extends across 19 low- and middle-income countries around the world. With leadership provided by the Pulte Institute and Notre Dame’s Global Center for the Development of the Whole Child, and in partnership with local research institutions, SHARE facilitates work needed to identify policy and practice recommendations to improve education outcomes—a proven pathway out of poverty. Global Education SHARE Collaborative Research to Strengthen Education Outcomes and Alleviate Poverty 28 | Global Education Projects supported by the SHARE award entered their fourth year in 2024. Six of the seven multi-country studies have now moved toward the dissemination phase—a critical opportunity for in- country education systems to benefit from the evidence generated. Work is underway by USAID to extend SHARE’s award to advance global learning needed to improve education outcomes in middle- and low-income countries. For the last year, researchers from the Pulte Institute have worked to update two of USAID’s four education learning agendas: Foundational Skills Development and Education in Crisis and Conflict. This process has included three regional workshops to identify high-priority learning areas in international education development, surveys of education stakeholders worldwide, and ongoing conversations with subject matter experts at USAID. The Future of SHARE Newly identified areas that SHARE may explore through small grants and other funding opportunities: • Cost-effective professional development opportunities to improve teacher performance and student learning outcomes • Approaches and tools to support access, inclusion, and learning of all children and youth, particularly from marginalized groups • Initiatives to advance children’s social-emotional learning • Cost effective delivery of soft skills training to improve youth employment outcomes The Pulte Institute for Global Development
