We believe that educational equity and social justice are inextricably linked. Along with other research centers at Harvard committed to human rights, “we affirm the values of racial equity, justice, and non-violence.” Read the full statement here: https://fxb.harvard.edu/2020/05/29/carrcenterfxbcenterstatement/

The Center for Education Policy Research (CEPR) is uniquely focused on seeing that research findings are put to practical use. We consult with education leaders and our broad network of partners to ensure we’re studying the most pressing issues. We offer trainings for teachers, coaches, and the next generation of data leaders. And we present our findings as briefs, toolkits, and step-by-step guides. Learn more about our impact.

Data Strategist Spotlight
Anthony Sims

The Strategic Data Project provided me with a breadth of technical and adaptive skills to meet this critical need and support my role as a change agent in my district.”

Advisory Board Spotlight
Christopher Ruszkowski
By supporting a community of school and systems leaders, CEPR is helping end the days of anecdote-based decision-making in public education. Over the last decade, the work of CEPR’s Strategic Data Project has sparked conversations and decisions that were long overdue and created a generation of leaders better equipped to guide policy and practice.”
