Focus Area:
Portfolio Strategy

CRPE founder Paul Hill coined and developed the portfolio strategy model, a problem-solving framework through which education and civic leaders develop a citywide system of high-quality, diverse, autonomous public schools. It emphasizes choice, accountability, and continuous improvement as levers to create more dynamic and equitable public education systems. While portfolio strategy is not currently a central focus of CRPE’s research, it remains an important part of our legacy, and our team continues to examine its relevance to today’s education challenges.
