Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement (CAREI)

Historical note: The Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement (CAREI) was founded in 1989 to be a direct link between the University of Minnesota’s College of Education and Human Development and Minnesota PreK-16 schools. CAREI’s mission is to improve the quality of education for all learners, thereby society as a whole. We do this through four service offerings: 1) evaluation, 2) research, 3) assessment, and 4) innovation & outreach. As applied researchers and evaluators, we believe we can have an immediate impact on our communities. Accordingly, we listen to and work with our clients and partners to understand their experiences. CAREI seeks to impact 80% of Minnesota students within five years.
