Directed by Dr. Deborah Hecht, CASE conducts basic and applied research with a focus on improving the quality of education K-16. In addition to our work with schools and school systems, the center serves as a forum for consideration of policy issues, as a center for interdisciplinary approaches to educational problems, and as a clearinghouse in areas of educational research and evaluation.

Funding for CASE projects originates with private industry, foundations, and city, state and federal agencies.  CASE’s work is national and international in scope.
