Like us for the latest behind the scenes exclusives about our programs! Crim Center at GSU was established in 1996 to provide a “city-wide laboratory for the development of excellence in urban education.” A grant from the United Parcel Service (UPS) Foundation provided much of the Center’s early funding. During that time, the Center also received funding from an Annenberg Foundation grant involvin

g a collaborative effort between several school districts and universities designed to create schools that “provided excellent education for low-income African-American children.”

The Crim Center was originally housed in the COE’s Department of Educational Policy Studies. The Crim Center is currently funded by the Offices of the Dean in the College of Education. Georgia State University’s College of Education has provided office space and administrative support in the Crim Center for some projects that have an urban focus. The Crim Center is described as interdisciplinary. Projects housed in the Center involve faculty from COE departments. A central goal of the Crim Center is to “bring together faculty,educators, and community members who are interested in conducting research and provide services to schools in urban school systems.” Many of the grants awarded to the Crim Center require interdisciplinary approaches whose partners span departments and K-12 urban schools.

Interesting piece by Bob Moses about the value of math literacy and a national vision for public education!

As a nation, we stand with bated breath — waiting for public schools to reopen and education to “return to normal," when "normal" was never really good.
