Center on Education Policy, Equity and Governance
Purpose
The mission of Center on Education Policy, Equity and Governance (CEPEG) is to conduct rigorous, practice-relevant research that advances educational equity for California K–12 students—with an emphasis on greater Los Angeles—and to create partnerships that ensure education policies, practices and governance structures are guided by evidence and careful analysis.
We recognize that stakeholders’ definitions of equity vary, both among CEPEG affiliates and in the education field more broadly. Our equity work at CEPEG is united by goals of addressing unjust social stratification and challenging oppressive educational beliefs, practices and structures to advance academic achievement and social-emotional development across social groups (for example by race/ethnicity, gender and social class).
