Resourcing Excellence in Education

Overview

The Resourcing Excellence in Education (REEd) Center is a university-based intermediary with deep ties to the TK–12 education community across the state. We are committed to moving research findings into practice and building the capacity of education systems to improve teaching and learning with the goal of reducing education inequities. We do this by testing professional growth systems for building capacity and using research practice partnerships to spread and deepen this work in many districts across the state and beyond.

Our mission is to increase education opportunities and reduce inequities for all students by improving teaching and learning across the education eco-system.

REEd produces cutting-edge and action-oriented research designed to advance the field’s understanding of education inequities while seeking to improve teacher and leader practices and promote student experiences that improve educational outcomes for students.

Our process includes:

  • Developing research-practice partnerships that will create and sustain the conditions needed for high-quality educational systems in order to improve educator practice and student experiences.
  • Providing school systems, policymakers and others education organizations with expertise and proven capacity-building processes that will improve education outcomes for students.
  • Accelerating systemic improvement in P-20 educational systems by facilitating the dissemination and adoption of research-based practices.
