R&D Agenda to Transform High School
The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching is honored to welcome our expert workgroup, research collaborators, and methods advisors to guide the co-creation of our research and development agenda to transform U.S. high school education. These organizations and individuals have been selected for their extensive expertise, steadfast dedication, bold vision, and courageous leadership to improve education at multiple levels.
Through their combined experience, insights, and connections to those most directly impacted or implicated by the transformations we seek for our education system, their contributions will be instrumental in anchoring the R&D agenda in the realities and possibilities for these transformations.
