Research Portal
Evidence, ready for research.
How do you teach?
Proving impact means research, and research partners spend months assembling data. The Research Portal, in development, will give approved researchers de-identified data on lessons, attendance, dosage and outcomes, under your data agreements.
Your research partner has spent months on data cleanup. Soon, approved researchers will get de-identified lesson, attendance, dosage and outcome data directly.
Your school wants an independent study of its outcomes. Soon, approved researchers will get de-identified data, scoped to their study, with every access logged.
Measuring training impact means sharing data safely. Soon, approved researchers will get de-identified data, scoped by study and date range, with every access logged.
Your district’s evaluation partner needs tutoring data without student names. Soon they’ll get de-identified data under your data agreements.
Approved researchers will get de-identified data on your workshops, scoped by study and date range, with every access logged. In development.
If your child’s program takes part in research, your child’s data is de-identified and every access is logged.

The problem
Research takes months of data wrangling
Funders and districts ask programs to prove impact. Research partners spend months assembling and cleaning data, and privacy reviews slow everything down.
The usual way
Programs export spreadsheets, strip names by hand and email files to researchers.
How Pencil Spaces solves it
Programs are increasingly asked to prove impact, and research partners spend months just assembling the data. The Research Portal will give approved researchers de-identified data on lessons, attendance, dosage and outcomes, scoped to their study and date range, exported in line with your data agreements, with every access logged. In development.
What changes
Faster, cheaper evidence of what works, with student privacy protected.
What we’re building
- De-identified data for approved researchers
- Access scoped by study and date range
- Exports that follow your data agreements
- Every access logged
What it looks like
In practice
A university team studying high-dosage tutoring is approved for one school year of data. They get de-identified lessons, attendance, dosage and outcomes, exported under the program’s data agreement, and every access is logged.
In a 1:1 lesson
Your research partner starts analysis in the first week instead of the third month.
In a group class
An evaluator receives de-identified data for one academic year, scoped to the study.
In a virtual training
An external evaluator measures your program’s impact using de-identified data.
In your classroom
The district’s evaluation partner gets de-identified tutoring data for its report.
In the training room
A researcher studies your workshop outcomes with data scoped to one year.
At home
Your daughter’s progress contributes to research without her name leaving the program.
