MMEP views its obligation as producing some of the most innovative work in education equity, and thus, its research addresses important gaps in scholarship and policy about the subject. We seek to provide comprehensive analysis of education equity measures and the difficult contexts in which practitioners, policymakers, and other stakeholders engage one another.

Our primary goal is to build the capacity of policymakers, practitioners, families, and the community-at-large to address challenges posed by the persistent educational disparities that exist between students of color and American Indian students on the one hand, and their white counterparts on the other. We believe that if policymakers are to design measures to redress or remedy the massive inequities that are the underlying causes of achievement disparities, their work ought to be informed by evidence; and we seek to contribute to that effort.
