CREATEd – Collaboration, Research, Equity, and Action Together in Education – aims to improve equitable national educational opportunities and outcomes nationally by leveraging knowledge in the research and practice communities in ways that promote stronger, more equitable relationships among the two communities and ultimately improve the education system’s capacity for evidence-informed improvement.

Our Vision

Our vision at CREATEd is to foster a stronger education system that is driven by stronger relationships between research and practice and the belief that the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion lead to improved learning opportunities, environments, and outcomes for all.

Our Mission

CREATEd encourages and supports the use of knowledge from research and practice communities as a tool for evidence-informed and equity-centered change within education systems. We achieve this by preparing knowledge brokers to support evidence-informed decision-making, facilitating the creation of a diverse network of knowledge brokers who are committed to educational equity, and providing opportunities for diverse constituencies to connect and partner to co-create evidence-informed and equity-centered resources.

CREATEd engages in a variety of interrelated initiatives to achieve its mission.
