Overview
The Center on Education Policy at George Washington University is a national, independent source for unbiased research, analysis, and general information about public education policies and practices. The proposed project will build on the Center’s previous work with federal policymakers by exploring evidence use in education policy and practice at the state and local levels. This work supports the Hewlett Foundation’s commitment to education innovation and equity by focusing on a dynamic issue that directly impacts students and public schools: the effective use of evidence to support school improvement under the Every Student Succeeds Act.

Grants to this Grantee
for a project to support a more representative American foreign policy
The Elliott School of International Affairs at George Washington University hosts the Generations Dialogue Project, which aims to increase the number of underrepresented youth who pursue and succeed in American foreign policy careers by connecting young people with individuals who blazed a trail in American foreign policy and international affairs. The grant seeks to increase the number of participating high school students who pursue university study related to international affairs; increase the number of participating undergraduate students who pursue graduate study related to international affairs; create for all participants an informational and support network for careers in international affairs; and demonstrate a model for generating pipelines of underrepresented groups and supporting them to undertake successful American foreign policy careers. This grant will also support a seminar series on the effect of localization on academics and students studying U.S. foreign policy and their potential to shape international development decisions in the Global South.
