Overview
Asia Society -- and in particular, its International Studies School Network (ISSN) -- is one of the ten organizations in the Deeper Learning Network. This Organizational Effectiveness grant will enable ISSN to engage in business planning to develop a strategy to shift its approach away from building new schools and instead towards working with existing schools that want to embed global competence in their existing programs. If this work can surface strategies to help ISSN become financially sustainable, this work would support the Program's strategic objectives of providing case-making that the work to help students develop deeper learning skills can reach scale.

Grants to this Grantee
for dialogues exploring accelerated climate action in China
This grant supports Asia Society’s work on dialogues to explore accelerating climate action in China. The project aims to surface notable, promising, and test-worthy new insights, ideas, and strategies that can be applied to compel greater climate action from China in the coming decade. The ideas generated and shared from this project can be applied by a group of stakeholders both inside and outside China. If fully utilized, the implementation of innovative and practical ideas in this project can result in additional climate actions from China relative to its 14th Five Year Plan’s stated emissions reduction goals, while shaping the future of China’s economy from 2025 onward.

for an international field analysis of non-cognitive skills in education
The Asia Society's education department focuses on the global competence of students, educators, and leaders as the foundation for understanding between people in the US, Asia, and worldwide. With this grant, the Asia Society proposes a research study which will contribute to a more holistic and global understanding of how 21st century competencies – including the knowledge, skills, and academic mindsets that comprise deeper learning – are defined and developed in Asian countries (many of whom have performed at high levels on international education assessments such as PISA). This proposal will deepen understanding of the policy and practices that enable deeper learning to scale within education systems.
