Among the greatest challenges in the United States today is the need to improve our public education system. The failure to provide effective education to all of our children not only squanders a national resource— our children’s potential—but also widens the gap between those who thrive and those who fail in society. At Stanford, we are working to address this challenge.
Through Stanford’s initiative on Improving K–12 Education, scholars from across the university—from the schools of business, law, medicine, engineering, earth sciences, and humanities and sciences; the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center; and the Hoover Institution—are joining with experts in the School of Education to approach the problem from multiple perspectives. And they are partnering with practitioners and policymakers to forge innovative and practical solutions.
