About CRPEThe Center on Reinventing Public Education (CRPE) is a research organization at Arizona State University’s Mary Lou Fulton College for Teaching and Learning Innovation, where transformative ideas are rigorously examined and tested, and research informs action. Since 1993, we have remained independent of any single ideology while holding firmly to our core belief that public education is a goal—to prepare every child for citizenship, economic independence, and personal fulfillment—and not a particular set of institutions.

From that foundation, we study what it will take for public education to meet every student’s needs and use those insights to inform meaningful changes in policy and practice.

Our current research explores four broad topics:

Students and Families:
We work to understand what students and families need from their education system—and how schools can rise to meet those needs.

Systems:
We examine the inner workings of schools, districts, and state governments, delivering insights into how our education systems work to meet the needs of students, families, and communities.

Innovations:
We identify promising initiatives outside the traditional education system that have the potential to radically improve teaching and learning, including artificial intelligence, new teacher staffing models, and district-wide innovations.

Politics of Change:
We study the critical role of politics in determining whether school systems deliver on their promise, and explore the ways public officials, school system leaders, and change-makers can factor political thinking into their strategies for improving education.

By partnering with the Mary Lou Fulton College, a leader in designing the Next Education Workforce, we are uniquely positioned to produce evidence and ideas that lead the country toward an education system that meets the needs of every student. Over the next five years, we aim to be the go-to source for defining a clear vision and high bar for successful post-pandemic recovery, tracking progress toward that vision, and testing bold ideas for students.

Essential Duties:

Manage qualitative and mixed methods data collection, cleaning and analysis (e.g., conducting interviews and coding and analyzing data).Synthesize research findings.
