We center students of color, inspire institutional change, & facilitate better educational practice, so we can transform the education system in North Carolina Join us for an opportunity to connect and learn with students and teachers in North Carolina. CREED centers students of color, inspires institutional change, and facilitates better educational practice to transform the education system in North Carolina. Our work primarily operates in three spheres: Research, Engagement, and Implementation. Our theory of change prioritizes expert race-conscious research on North Carolina-specific education issues, raising the collective awareness of the general public while inspiring and shifting the work of educators as they alter practices and protocols to become more equitable.
