The and Remake Learning have received a $1 million grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to develop an innovative network of educators of color and learning scientists who will work together to transform how research and development are conducted in education.

Called the Shifting Power initiative, the project aims to change how educational research is performed by bringing in the voices of more educators and students of color. The project will create new advisory group of 20 people from K-12 school districts, colleges and universities, museums and education technology companies. This network is intended to become a national model for implementation.

“Shifting Power is an important undertaking that will center and uplift the voices, identities, power, and brilliance of Black and Latinx educators,” said  (pictured), the Renée and Richard Goldman Dean of the School of Education, Co-chair of the Remake Learning Council, and co-principal investigator on this grant.

We are proud to partner with Remake Learning and the Gates Foundation on this ambitious endeavor, which supports our school’s mission to ignite learning and to strive for well-being for all.”
