Grants to this Grantee
For the Clean Slate Project at Harvard Law School’s Labor & Worklife Program
The Labor & Worklife Program (LWP) is Harvard Law Schools center for research, teaching, and creative problem solving related to work and its implications for society. LWP has launched the Clean Slate Project to build and implement policy recommendations to reconstruct labor law in order to rebalance our economy and politics. The recommendations will be released to the public generally for educational and informational purposes. The Clean Slate Project starts from problems of economic and political inequality that we need to solve. The Project will (a) identify legal mechanisms that can address those problems; (b) create fellowships to support innovative organizing campaigns and feed learnings from the grassroots into our policy recommendations; (c) build a campaign to support change at the federal level in the long term; and (d) support grants to catalyze adoption of innovative policies at the state and local level in the near term.
for a community of practice to understand the systemic changes needed for deeper learning at scale
The Deeper Learning Dozen project is housed at the Harvard University Graduate School of Education. The project creates a community of practice formed by 12 superintendents and their team members, all of whom are committed to making the changes necessary so that all young people and adults equitably experience deeper learning. The work will result in an understanding of how to create the changes in systems, policies, practices, roles, beliefs, and assumptions that will lead to the impact at scale.
for research to establish baseline levels of deeper learning instruction in public schools
The Ecological Approaches to Social Emotional Learning (EASEL) Laboratory at the Harvard Graduate School of Education explores the effects of high-quality social-emotional interventions on the development and achievement of youth, teachers, parents, and communities. Despite widespread interest in social and emotional learning, there is no empirical evidence showing that such interventions are taking place, so this grantee will undertake the first large-scale study to determine what, if anything, is happening, to what degree, and how. This research will establish a baseline measure of deeper learning practice in public schools.
