CEDER, a center within the University of Michigan Marsal Family School of Education, provides education evaluation and design expertise and services through funded partnerships. Specifically, CEDER supports the evaluation, design, and development of education programs, curricula, and software in collaborations with other units on campus, external university partners, and for K-12 and informal learning settings.

Previous and current partners include U-M faculty, the state of Michigan, community-based non-profits, and federal programs. The CEDER evaluation and design teams are comprised of experts with both research and evaluation experience, in addition to faculty principal investigators and consultants.

At CEDER, we approach every project collaboratively. Before starting any project, we meet with potential clients to uncover their needs. The team then works with clients to develop an initial scope of work. The scope of work then serves as a working document guiding the partnership throughout the process. In addition to developing design and evaluation plans within CEDER, we also connect clients to outside resources and make referrals as needed.
