Meet the Commissioners
These are the members of the National Commission on Learning Ecosystems, a two-year project of the Education & Work program at New America.
PreK–12 Education
The PreK–12 Education program works to transform public education by developing, testing, and elevating new approaches that better serve children, youth, and families. Our work spans the full journey of a child’s education—from their earliest years to high school graduation. We pay special attention to students underserved in the current system, including students from low-income families, English learners, and learners with disabilities.
