The Warner Center for Professional Development and Education Reform is committed to being a resource and stimulus for educators to grow and continue to improve.

Through outreach, research projects, and professional development, the Warner Center staff is deeply involved in education and aware of the challenges facing educators today. Among its staff are experts in curriculum development, consultation, supervision, and instructional materials, research procedures, systemic reform, and professional development that leads to improvement of educational practice. Staff at the Warner Center lead important research projects in local schools and other educating organizations--projects that have great importance and impact education initiatives across the nation.

The Warner Center's activities aim to help shape the future of education and serve as a catalyst to initiate new practices, new understandings, new curricula, and new work in all areas of education. Professional development opportunities, in the form of seminars and workshops, are offered to provide a foundation for growth and discovery that leads to systemic reform. The Warner Center believes that this foundation can be used to find new ways to improve education through partnerships with community agencies and schools that create new initiatives.

The Warner Center's mission is
"... to foster and support research-based innovative professional practice and systemic change in educational environments. This is accomplished through professional development and systemic reform initiatives informed by current research and collaboration with participants."
