Suzanne Donovan, executive director of the Strategic Education Research Partnership (SERP) Institute, and Vanessa Coleman, co-director of SRI’s Center for Education Research & Innovation, recently sat down for a conversation with Kori Hamilton Biagas to discuss scaling innovations that disrupt inequity and create system-level change.
What do high school graduates need to know and be able to do to be prepared for college and career? This is the fundamental question that state policy makers confront when determining minimum high school graduation requirements or assessing whether these requirements need to change to meet the needs of a rapidly evolving economy.
One objective within our Equitable Pathways to College and Career team is to highlight projects and initiatives that weave equity-driven practices into the fabric of our work. One such initiative is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF)—NSF’s Eddie Bernice Johnson INCLUDES Initiative (NSF INCLUDES).
