The Center for Innovation in Education is a public policy organization based in Lexington, Kentucky, operating within the realm of education policy and practice. Founded in 2013 and housed at the University of Kentucky, the center focuses on placing learners and learning at the center of its work, aiming to shape a clearer national vision for education and to support state and local systems in developing and acting on coherent theories of change. Its approach involves collaborating with state education agencies and local districts on innovation priorities, addressing both policy and practice so that lessons learned can inform policy and enable meaningful transformation. The organization has historically partnered with the Council of Chief State School Officers to support the Innovation Lab Network and engages with multiple partners and states beyond that network, emphasizing a learning agenda that bring diverse perspectives together and connect practitioners with the research community to test solutions and generate new insights.
