The Office of Research and Evaluation, a self-support unit of CEPS, conducts applied and evaluative research using rigorous systematic and empirical standards of scientific investigation. The Office's mission is to examine questions and accreditation standards relative to teaching and learning in schools and colleges for the purpose of understanding the impacts of practice, program, and policy. The Office will report emerging trends through the synthesis of existing knowledge and practice, conducting evaluations, and validating new assessment techniques. Dissemination of promising practices will provide policymakers and practitioners with the reliable data necessary to support innovation and improved practice.
