The research and development centers in the School of Education conduct research and prepare curriculum and instructional support systems that address the learning needs of our nation's most challenged students.

Center for Summer Learning

The mission of the Center for Summer Learning is to create opportunities for high quality summer learning for all young people. The Center is committed to expanding summer learning opportunities for disadvantaged children and youth as a strategy for closing the achievement gap and promoting healthy youth development.

The Center works to :

  • Improve the quality and availability of summer programs by providing professional development and evaluation services to providers.
  • Build awareness and support for high-quality summer learning programs through outreach and communications.
  • Generate increased public investment in summer programs for young people in high poverty communities.
Through its national network of providers and partners, the Center works to make summer learning a priority in communities across the country. Using research-based approaches and models of effective practice, the Center strives to ensure that all children have access to high-quality learning opportunities during the summer months.

Center for Research and Reform in Education

The Center for Research and Reform in Education (CRRE) works to improve the quality of education for children in grades pre-K to 12. Within CRRE, a federally funded research center, the Center for Data-Driven Reform in Education (CDDRE), was created to help low-performing schools meet their state's academic performance standards. CDDRE uses student performance data to determine effective plans for meeting state standards, to provide information on program effectiveness, and to evaluate the success of data-driven reform strategies. CRRE works with the nonprofit Success for All Foundation to develop, research, and disseminate reading programs in grades pre-K to 8.

Center for Technology in Education

The Center for Technology in Education strives to improve the quality of life of children and youth-particularly those with special needs-through teaching, research, and leadership in the use of technology. CTE combines the research and teaching resources of JHU with the leadership and policy support of Maryland State Department of Education. The center's emphasis on technology in education is based on the belief that children with special needs have a right to the best possible education in the least restrictive environment and the belief that technology can transform instruction so that all children can maximize their potential. CTE directs much of its work to expanding educators' awareness and skills so they are able to improve their practice and thereby increase student achievement.
