The University Of Chicago Urban Education Institute

The University of Chicago Urban Education Institute (UEI) advances an ambitious national agenda to create knowledge to produce reliably excellent schooling for children growing up in urban America. Working at the powerful intersections of research and practice, UEI conducts rigorous applied research, trains exemplary teachers and leaders, operates a multi-campus PreK - 12 charter school, and develops and delivers empirically based tools and training to thousands of schools across the U.S. No other institution in the country joins these domains of work and depth of expertise under one roof. UEI's models and tools are designed for scale and emulated nationwide.
