Overview
The Graduate School of Education at the University of California, Berkeley is home to a diverse group of students and faculty with a common interest in improving education. The grantee will work with the Hayward Unified School District and the Reach Institute for School Leadership to help educators adopt teaching practices designed to deepen the rigor of instruction across a school district. By documenting the process, this work will both benefit similar school districts that lack the attributes of effective teaching and inform the spread of innovative practices.

Grants to this Grantee
for the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity
A grant to the University of California at Berkeley will support the ongoing work of the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity, the home of this research and engagement at the university. The center focuses on both the “cyber” and “security” components of cybersecurity, grounding efforts in a robust, flexible, and evolving understanding of the “possibility” space of cybersecurity. Research will focus on possible security scenarios and explore the technical, political, and economic intersection of these potential futures. The aim of this approach is to foster interdisciplinary collaboration within the center as well as to add diversity to the cybersecurity conversation. The center brings together academics from the School of Information, the School of Law, Computer Science, the Goldman School of Public Policy, and the College of Engineering, among others. It also engages external stakeholders in all facets of this work, including in outreach efforts. (Strategy: Talent Pipeline)
