- And so forth
The research provisions are geared to help schools, districts, communities, community-based organizations, regions, states, and so on uncover hidden knowledge, explore root causes, and better understand the complex processes contributing to educational inequities. The Center's research apparatuses also:
- Investigate promising programs
- Evaluate supplementary educational programs
- Contribute to the theories and knowledge of the fields
