Introducing Education Reform University

The Center for Education Reform has launched an unprecedented project to take reformers back to school, and take Americans forward in their learning about what really makes good schools happen.

Education Reform University is the nation’s 1st and only effort to inform, educate and activate students who don’t know much about history – at least not the history of the EdReform movement.

The need for a real history lesson has been made clear time and time again in our work. We realize that the single largest impediment to real, lasting substantive, structural educational improvement, even beyond the opponents of common sense standards, quality options and accountability, is the lack of common knowledge of the people, the ideas, their progress, the players and more. To arm the next generation of reformers as we age, we have to do more than wait for people to come to our offices, join our staffs, or run for office.

Thus, the idea of building an EdReform University was borne. It starts with a massive and unprecedented library of the history of the movement, will soon begin to provide online as well as occasional in-person coursework, and eventually will deliver fully accredited coursework through partnership colleges and universities.

EdReform U will harness the collective knowledge and experience of our network of education reform leaders to train a NEW generation of reformers.

The Edreform University library contains 20 years of history and experience, over 15,000 resources and most importantly, lessons form the front delivered from our nation’s leading education reform pioneers.

Our network of state, local, and national policymakers, dedicated parents, fulltime activists, and reform-minded teachers and administrators are continuing to collaborate to implement groundbreaking education initiatives and overcome obstacles to common-sense, innovative reform.

EdReform U is for the EdReformers who are stuck on education reform for live, or those who want to be.
