Education Summit

What does the future of
American education look like?

A majority-minority, majority poor student population. A demanding job market. Increasing automation. A polarized society. There are big demographic, economic, technological and social challenges confronting American schools—and a lot of debate about how to face them.


With this backdrop, the fourth annual Education Summit will examine the state, local and federal policy ideas that could influence school success and safety; the mechanics of teaching and learning in classrooms; and the state of equity and access in education today.
