Established in June 1997, the Education Intelligence Agency (EIA)
is a private, for-profit, one-man contract research firm. EIA itself supports no
particular program or specific reform but does focus on the inner
workings of the teachers' unions. Its clients cover the political
spectrum, from conservative public policy organizations to teacher union
affiliates themselves. EIA has successfully filled requests for
information from organizations and agencies in all 50 states.
EIA provides
quick, accurate information to requesters
concerning the public education establishment. This is done in a
variety of ways:
1) Weekly e-mail communiqués containing the latest news
and inside information about public education. EIA currently
sends communiqués directly to over 4,000 organizations and
individuals in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and overseas. Many more read them through reposting.
There is no charge for the e-mail service. The list is never shared with other parties.
2) Periodic reports, essays or handbooks on a neglected education issue. EIA's
reports have received extensive coverage in national as well as regional
publications.
3) EIA supports itself through contract work and provides raw
data on the requested topic (charging by the hour) or provides
extensive research and analysis in a finished report (charging by
the project). EIA also conducts workshops and lectures on teacher union
operations and tactics. Client confidentiality is maintained unless specifically
waived.
