Initiative for Rural Education, Equity, & Economic Development

I-REEED stems from the conviction that public education is a critical social good that is inseparable from the mental and physical health of communities, economic development, and justice. The primary goal of I-REEED is to produce rigorous, collaborative, and solution-oriented research that is relevant and useful to our state and local partners.

What We Do

• Build collaborations with state and local educators and organizations.
• Produce rigorous, collaborative, solution-oriented research that addresses the questions our state and local partners care most about.
• Share findings that are useful and actionable.
