The center’s mission is to provide professional development to help educational leaders and teachers enable students to succeed; conduct and publish research on policies and effective leadership practices that lead to student success; bring together leaders from the public schools, the private sector, universities, as well as education consultants and school reform leaders to work together to address issues faced by the public schools; and, in turn, draft reform strategies.

Ranked third in the United States as producer of teacher-education degrees for Hispanics, the college is responsible for innovative research and grants in professional development, technology enhancement, health, school readiness, and bi-national and bicultural issues
