Our Mission > WestEd, a research, development, and service agency, works with education and other communities to promote excellence, achieve equity, and improve learning for children, youth, and adults.
 
Kindergartners to university graduate students in Sacramento, CA, are brought together to learn about agriculture and environmentally sustainability - from building solar-powered toy cars to surveying land.
 
Elsewhere, high school student intern and shadow at local hospitals, often spending whole days in one department such as surgery.
 
These are but two examples of career technical education in action. WestEd is evaluating the impact of such programs to help increase the number of high school graduates who are ready for college and career.
 
Across the country, WestEd staff successfully work on many more evaluation and research-based projects, and partnerships with schools, education agencies, policymakers, and others in education and human development. Our primary goal? Success for every learner.
