Welcome to CRECE
Welcome to the Center for Research, Equity, and Collaborative Engagement
CRECE is a center in which CSU East Bay faculty and graduate students work in partnership with Pre-K-16 and higher education professionals. Our mission is to identify the needs of Pre-K-16 students and educators, address their most pressing concerns and support social justice practices through scholarly research, evaluation support, and professional and community development.
CRECE is derived from the Spanish word crecer, meaning “to grow,” which underscores our overall goal: finding new ways to help schools learn and develop, thus fulfilling the ultimate potential of all students.
CRECE supports
- The CSUEB mission through building partnerships to meet local and state educational needs
- Districts and colleges through justice-focused professional learning, capacity development, and site-based inquiry
- CSUEB students through research and fellowships
- CSUEB alumni through publication and writing support workshops, networking, and a social justice focused community
