Welcome to The Center for Research
on Educational Opportunities
The Center for Research
on Educational Opportunity (CREO) is a part of the Institute for Educational Initiatives (IEI) at the University of Notre Dame. We conduct basic
and applied research on schools and the learning process. Our research
studies the formal and informal organization of schools, the curriculum,
teacher practices, and student social relationships to determine how these
factors interact with student background and ability to affect student
learning. Special attention is given to less privileged students and Catholic
schools.
To foster
the intellectual life of CREO and the Notre Dame community, we offer a
continuing lecture series addressing contemporary issues in education and an
annual research conference to report recent research findings on schools.
CREO also sponsors workshops and symposia, initiates and coordinates research
projects among faculty, and sponsors faculty exchanges, postdoctoral fellowships
and graduate training in areas related to the CREO mission. Through these
efforts, CREO hopes to make a significant contribution toward attaining
educational excellence and equity in American education.
