Dr. Arthur R. King, Jr., founder and director of CRDG, began his tenure at the UH as a member of the College of Education research faculty. Along with William Savard, Art was co-director of the Hawaii Curriculum Center, which later became CRDG. His depth and breadth of knowledge and leadership, along with his vision for creating and sustaining a university-based R&D center using a real-time school as a laboratory is the very foundation of CRDG’s success. Art’s belief in and commitment to a quality liberal education for all sustained CRDG through economic and political challenges. The result is a curriculum R&D center recognized internationally for the quality of its research, products, and services that have served thousands of teachers and millions of students.
