Practice profiles are the culmination of research and reflection conducted by SchoolWorks (an educational research organization), educators in EPIC partner districts and charter schools, and New Leaders for New Schools. Profiles are meant to provide a window into the specific strategies and practices that have been identified as contributing to a school's student achievement gains.

All profiles follow a common structure and outline and contain a rich set of school artifacts, the tools used by the school during their day-to-day work. School-produced documents are unedited, representing the actual work the school has done.

EPIC practice profiles present the way a particular school leader and staff address a specific need or challenge in their school. EPIC profiles are not necessarily examples of "best practice" but instead depict what schools are doing to improve student achievement, responding to their unique local circumstances and requirements. Profiles are intended to provide a forum for school leaders and staff to reflect on and discuss the school's strategies and approach and decide how the profiles can help them improve their practice and, possibly, implement new practices.
