In 2021, I joined the Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institution, where I'm leading an exciting multi-national, multi-year initiative called ROSIE (Research on Scaling the Impact of Innovations in Education). I'm working with colleagues around the world who are studying and implementing innovations designed to transform systems and improve education for all. I hope you'll learn with us as we proceed.
