The Rennie Center's mission is to develop a public agenda that promotes significant improvement of public education in Massachusetts. We envision an education system that educates every child to be successful in life, citizenship, employment and life-long learning. The Rennie Center offers educators and policy makers a "safe place" to consider evidence and perspectives, discuss issues and develop new approaches to their work. We seek to foster thoughtful public discourse and informed policy making through non-partisan, independent research, civic engagement, and effective action.

The Rennie Center for Education Research & Policy was launched by current Massachusetts Secretary of Education Paul Reville as a division of the Massachusetts Institute for a New Commonwealth (MassINC) in October 2002. In the summer of 2005, the Rennie Center became an independent non-profit organization committed to addressing the critical challenges of reforming education in Massachusetts.
