  Angela Valenzuela, an education professor at the University of Texas at Austin, is the director for the Texas Center on Educational Policy, based at the university.The center will connect education researchers and provide data for decision makers, including Congress, the Legislature, the State Board of Education and local school boards.
  
  "We will strive to invigorate the discourse and facilitate the sharing of information that will direct the future of education in Texas and beyond our borders," said Valenzuela, who earned her doctorate in sociology from Stanford University."We will be a leader in Texas with national and international reach."
  
  The center will plunge into major issues affecting Texas education, including teacher quality, bilingual/immigrant education, college readiness, and school accountability and assessment.
  
  "This center will be a bridge between decision makers and people who are doing the research - filling a necessary gap," Valenzuela said.
  
  Any number of "think tanks" churn out position papers on education-related issues, she said, but "many have mercenary researchers ... generating studies that are very ideologically oriented."
  
  Many of those studies typically align with the organization's agenda and are not subject to peer review.
  
  "You won't have researchers (at the Texas Center on Educational Policy) who are hired to generate a particular result.But rather, you have scholars that dedicate their lives to certain research questions and under a peer review method that makes them accountable," Valenzuela said.
  
  The education policy center also will provide research to better connect universities and business, she said.
  ...
  Valenzuela said she's mystified that the state of Texas had not created a center for education policy.
  
  "Policy is one of those underdeveloped areas," she said.
