Policy Analysis for California Education

Policy Analysis for California Education (PACE) is an independent, non-partisan research center led by faculty directors at Stanford University; the University of Southern California; the University of California, Davis; the University of California, Los Angeles; and the University of California, Berkeley. PACE bridges the gap between research, policy, and practice, working with scholars from California’s leading universities and with state and local decision makers to achieve improvement in performance and more equitable outcomes at all levels of California’s education system, from early childhood to postsecondary education and training.
