We're researchers

Our research helps make sense of complex education issues in California and identifies existing gaps and opportunities.

We support student success

We bring people together across the CSU system to build knowledge and relationships that advance equitable opportunities and outcomes for students.

We’re connectors

We bring together educators across roles and systems to transform policy and practice at all levels of education through the California Education Policy Fellowship Program (EPFP).

We’re evaluators

Our evaluations help to understand the impact of policies and programs on educators and students.

EdInsights is a research center

EdInsights’ purpose is to conduct research, provide evaluation services, and create collaborative professional learning spaces that inform and advance anti-racist approaches to policymaking and practice so that minoritized student populations have equitable opportunities and outcomes in their public education and career journeys.
