Rutgers University Center For Effective School Practices

CESP is a Rutgers University education research center dedicated to finding practical solutions that maximize student achievement. Our faculty and staff collaborate with local, state, and national educators to use research evidence to improve student success and teacher performance. Our main objectives are to facilitate the translation of research into effective practices and build the capacity of educators to engage in informed decision-making that is rooted in research. As partners, we tailor products and solutions to your specific school, district, or community needs and provide high-quality trainings and practical tools; support program design, implementation, and evaluation; and use rigorous research methods and data analysis to support sound decisions. We work with Pre-K, K-12, and higher education organizations in the Mid-Atlantic region and beyond.
