Editorial Projects In Education

Through Editorial Projects in Education’s print and online publication, Education Week continues to be at the forefront of producing education news and stories. This grant renewal request is a proposal to produce sixteen pages of deeper learning–related items per year over the next two years. To reach a larger audience, Education Week will also employ its other distribution channels: live and virtual events, social media, and collaborative agreements with its growing network of content partners, including Associated Press, McClatchy-Tribune Information Services, and Learning Matters.

Last November, a grant was awarded to Editorial Projects In Education to produce twenty-five pages of deeper learning–related coverage in its Education Week publication. This renewal request proposes to build on that work and produce twenty pages per year over the next two years in Editorial Project’s print and online publications. To reach a larger audience, it will also employ its other distribution channels—live and virtual events, social media, and collaborative agreements with its growing network of content partners, including Associated Press, McClatchy-Tribune News Service, and Learning Matters.

The nonprofit Editorial Projects in Education, primarily through its flagship publication, Education Week, has long pursued stories about the shortcomings in curricula, assessment, and teacher preparation that deprive children, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, of the sound education they need to succeed in college and the workplace. Its reporters and editors have produced stories illuminating promising models and successful practices that dig beneath the superficial K-12 experience. To build on that work, EdWeek proposes to produce twenty-five pages of related coverage in Education Week over the next twelve months, as well as to leverage its digital and "live events" platforms, including edweek.org, electronic newsletters, webinars, and social-media functionality, to further highlight efforts to encourage deeper learning.
