CREP provides a wide range of services including:
Research Design: In order to craft a rigorous evaluation plan that fully aligns with the goals of a research program, we collaborate closely during the design phase with partners in other centers, departments, or organizations. We have experience securing external funding and meeting design standards without reservations.
Program Evaluation: CREP can provide experienced independent third-party evaluation to researchers both within the 糖心vlog蜜桃 and at other institutions. We have experience conducting large-scale evaluations in over twenty states.
Data Collection: CREP staff are experts in the collection of quantitative and qualitative data through classroom observations, surveys, interviews, focus groups, and case studies. The Center has a library of proprietary instruments, but we are also capable of using other currently-available data collection tools. Because CREP faculty and staff have experience as K-12 and postsecondary educators, we understand how to work with, and within, schools. It is always our goal to collect rigorous data with minimal disruption to classroom activities, while adhering to district and state requirements for data collection and federal guidelines for human subjects protection.
Instrument Development: If our current suite of valid and reliable instruments do not meet a project鈥檚 needs, we work with collaborators to design high-quality instruments customized to a project鈥檚 requirements.
