As a consortium of The University of Houston System, The Texas A&M University System, The Texas State University System, and The University of Texas System, CREATE works to provide opportunities for member institutions and the profession at large to systematically explore quality and effectiveness issues related to teacher preparation, retention, and student achievement.

CREATE sponsored a two-year Teacher Induction Study involving researchers from 4 consortium universities and 14 Texas public school districts. Data on mentor support, workplace ecology, and mentor program infrastructure was collected from 451 novice teachers and their mentor teachers. Classroom pass rates and scale score from spring 2006 TAKS were collected on the novice teachers and 2145 comparison teachers who taught at the same campuses.
