The Center for Education: Celebrating 20 years of working for the teachers and students of Houston
The ultimate aim of the Rice University Center for Education is to assure more equitable, more academically rich learning experiences for all children. We work directly with teachers to assure their capacity to engage children in authentic learning and, we further enrich their teaching through workshops, courses, conferences, publications. We conduct research on key issues in urban education, teaching and learning, educational policy, and through the dissemination of our research findings, we work to assure that those teachers, and the children they serve, are surrounded by a well-informed circle of public support.
You may participate in the Center's work by attending a workshop, taking part in a year-long teacher enrichment course, exploring our research, or attending a public seminar. For more information, see the links at the left, or call us at 713-348-5145.
