Overview
The Center on Reinventing Public Education at the University of Washington engages in independent research and policy analysis on a range of K-12 public education issues, including choice and charters, finance and productivity, teachers, urban district reform, leadership, and state and federal reform. The Center plans to identify key points of leverage that state education agencies can use to improve school performance. The project will produce a research brief outlining critical information that incoming state education chiefs need in order to effectively manage their agencies and a final report detailing steps that state and federal policymakers could take to strengthen the role of the state education agencies.

for leadership practice trajectories for transformed and equitable schools
The University of Washington Center for Educational Leadership works with education leaders to create empowering and equitable school experiences for students. This grant supports research on the practices of school leaders in two areas: how they observe and analyze classroom instruction and how they use these observations to design professional learning experiences for teachers. From this research, the Center will develop new professional learning strategies for school principals and other school leaders. As such, this grant advances the Education Program’s priorities of growing new exemplars of teacher practice, new knowledge about transforming education systems, new voices in discourse about public education and new conversations about teaching and learning.
