Overview
The d.school is a hub for innovators at Stanford University who focus on creating transformative learning experiences. The d.school will develop and share a new diagnostic model in which students are called upon to perform tasks that can assess deeper learning competencies; this also has the benefit of demonstrating that new measures of deeper learning can be created. Further, the d.school project will build educators’ confidence in their own ability to design and implement equitable deeper learning experiences, adding to the evidence base around such activities.

Grants to this Grantee
for support of the Policy Analysis for California Education program
Policy Analysis for California Education (PACE) is a nonpartisan policy and research center housed at Stanford University. It researches and analyzes education policy issues pertaining to California’s K-12 education system, bridging the gap between research and policy. This grant will help PACE produce relevant analysis and research, which can be used to better inform California education policy development and guide state and local decision making. (Strategy: K-12 Teaching and Learning)
for support of a neuroimaging study of racial bias and professional investors
SPARQ, a research center at Stanford University, seeks to reduce societal disparities and social divides using behavioral science. This grant will support research to examine racial diversity in the financial services industry. It is expected that this information will be used to develop strategies and practices to reduce biases that contribute to racial disparities.
