Education Leadership & Policy

Education Leadership & Policy


The Education Leadership and Policy Pillar of the Gordon Institute for Advanced Study advanced its mission during the 2024–2025 academic year through its focus on outreach and engagement with faculty affiliates, research-practice partnerships with state, local, and district-level leaders, and advancing critical research, policy analysis, and scholarship of consequence for the public good.

The Pillar remains dedicated to translating faculty research for nonscientific audiences to ensure the public is informed about what educational research says concerning the costs, benefits, opportunities, and limitations associated with existing and proposed education policies and leadership practices.

The institute's Senior Associate Director is Sonya Douglass.
