At CPRL, 2024 was another year of helping leaders across the education sector rethink not just what they are doing, but how they are doing it to better serve each and every student.
Over the course of the year, we worked with dozens of ed sector partners from across the U.S. to grapple with some of the biggest challenges in public education. At the same time we grew the pool of public sector leaders by 65 aspiring leaders from an interdisciplinary group of 18 professional schools in law, policy, education, business, and data science, as part of our intensive semester-long equity-focused experience. In each of our projects, it was clear that finding solutions to the complex challenges in education requires these varied perspectives and skills.
We are grateful for all of our partnerships, and as we look toward 2025, we are hopeful that a participatory approach to solving problems can help us get better at serving the needs of every child who walks through the school doors. We see real promise for the year ahead – we see it in the innovative work school systems are doing to implement new curriculum in ways that truly improve student learning; consider policy and practices that strengthen the educator workforce; and bolster school-family partnerships essential for supporting student learning.
