Our Work

The Center on Reinventing Public Education (CRPE) is a non-partisan research and policy analysis center at Arizona State University’s Mary Lou Fulton College for Teaching and Learning Innovation. Since our founding in 1993, we have been committed to finding innovative, evidence-based solutions to improve public education. At CRPE, we rigorously examine and test transformative ideas, ensuring our research informs actionable change.

Our mission is to inform and support education leaders in their efforts to reinvent public education, ensuring all students have access to high-quality learning opportunities. We believe public education is a goal—to prepare every child for citizenship, economic independence, and personal fulfillment—and not just a particular set of institutions. From this foundation, we strive to understand and advocate for what it will take for public education to meet the needs of every student, driving meaningful changes in policy and practice.
