Most educators have a limited understanding of the driving forces behind educational policymaking, and most policymakers find it difficult to understand how schools and colleges operate. Attorneys who work with educators and policymakers often have limited understanding of both. CEPAL endeavors to bring the worlds of education, policymaking, and law together in the interest of better educational outcomes.
To this end, CEPAL is available to undertake any or all of the following:
- Legal and educational research commissioned at the local school district, county, and state levels.
- Legal and educational research commissioned at the community college and university levels.
- Legal and educational research in association with philanthropy and/or other study centers.
- Policy and initiative development commissioned by philanthropy or non-profits.
- Convening educators, researchers, and political leaders to debate and discuss pending and future educational policy issues impacting federal, state, and local constituencies.
- Conducting forums, workshops, and institutes on selected topics of education policy and the law.
- Placing talented law and education students in internships related to policymaking.
