About CRPE

The Center on Reinventing Public Education is a nonpartisan research and policy analysis center. Since 1993, we have studied innovative, evidence-based solutions to improve public education. We believe public education is a goal—to prepare every child for citizenship, economic independence, and personal fulfillment—rather than a set of institutions. From this foundation, we strive to understand and advocate for necessary changes in policy and practice to meet the needs of every student. CRPE is part of Arizona State University’s Mary Lou Fulton College for Teaching and Learning Innovation.
