ABOUT CRPE
The Center on Reinventing Public Education believes inequities are hard-wired into our public education system in both obvious and subtle ways. Our core business is studying efforts to rewire the system for ongoing improvement, and excellence for every student—moving from the classroom, to the school, to policy implications. 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 seeks team members who are passionate about systems change and embrace the idea that public education is a goal, not a set of institutions. The following core values guide our work:
● Equity: We are committed to an ongoing and active fight against racism and injustice
● Curiosity: We look around the corner
● Excellence: We do world-class research that’s interesting, significant, and trustworthy
● Teamwork: We’re clear, focused, and productive together
● Ownership: We’re all responsible for CRPE’s success
● Communication: We’re transparent and honest with each other
● Camaraderie: We appreciate each other
● Integrity: We’re professional and ethical
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.
