K-12 and Teacher Education


The Foundation’s work with K-12 teachers and those who educate teachers involved the development of dynamic examples of exceptional classroom teaching in diverse classroom settings to give educators the pedagogical tools to further advance the preparation of our nation’s teaching force.


Previous work in this area:

The Goldman-Carnegie Quest Program was a three-stage effort that aimed to explore and design "signature pedagogies" for the education of teachers, which place vivid representations of both teaching and learning-to-teach at its center.
