Overview
The d.school is a hub for innovators at Stanford University who focus on creating transformative learning experiences. The d.school will develop programs that challenge school leaders to employ "do it yourself" approaches to create greater deeper learning opportunities for students, and will explore "uncommon measures" as means to assess their progress toward their goals. This work challenges assumptions that deeper learning-focused schools must be purpose-built institutions and tests the theory of diffusion — that by making elements of deeper learning easy to "test out" using existing structures, the practices and ideas will be more likely to spread.

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.
