JESPAR was founded as an official publication of the Center for Research on the Education of Students Placed At Risk (CRESPAR), whose mission was to conduct the research, development, evaluation, and dissemination needed to transform schooling for students placed at risk. The work of the Center was guided by three central themes — ensuring the success of all students at key development points, building on students’ personal and cultural assets, and scaling up effective programs — and conducted through research and development programs in the areas of early and elementary studies; middle and high school studies; school, family, and community partnerships; and systemic supports for school reform, as well as a program of institutional activities.
