We envision a public education system that truly prepares every student for the challenges of the future. We fulfill this mission through:

• Research: We produce world-class research that’s interesting, significant, and
trustworthy.
• Thought leadership: Our analysis looks around the corner, comments on relevant
issues, and proposes new ideas.
• Engagement with leaders: We prioritize learning from city, state, and nonprofit leaders
in their communities and we inform their work with evidence.

CRPE has played a national role in studying the impact of the COVID pandemic on school
systems and policy, and we study new methods of schooling that will inform rebuilding efforts
post-pandemic.
