As the nation adapts to the ongoing realities of a global pandemic, the major philanthropies underwriting early childhood investments are likewise adapting their strategies. Hear from leaders in the world of early childhood philanthropy to find out what challenges and opportunities they are identifying during this time, and how their giving may be shifting as a result.
Twelve years after the Great Recession crippled our nation’s economy, many state policymakers were on the cusp of returning education funding to pre-2008 levels. Unfortunately, the economic hardship brought on by COVID-19 has forced states to make difficult fiscal decisions, including cutting education funding or pressing pause on education finance reform. Join us for the latest edition of our Governing Principals series to discuss how states are rethinking education finance and how the pandemic has created both challenges and opportunities in education finance reform.
The roots of systemic racism are real and continue to be a challenge for educators and policymakers. While the problems in unequal access and treatment are ubiquitous in education systems across the United States, there are solutions that policymakers can scale to make a change. In this webinar, hear from education and philanthropy leaders about the evidenced-based strategies they are investing in for making reforms to state and local education across the country.
Rural students and rural communities are not a monolith. Across the United States, each rural community is made up of different people with different backgrounds, values, and demographics. As we as a country face a reckoning around systemic racism, including in our education systems, it’s crucial that we also discuss the systems that sideline the voices of rural students and how they intersect to impact the well-being and educational outcomes of rural students of color. In this webinar, we will hear from state leaders and advocates who are working diligently to support rural Black, Latinx, and Indigenous students to overcome the barriers that impact their educational experiences.
With the 2020 election in the rearview, parents, students, policymakers, and other stakeholders are likely wondering what the outcome means for education. In this special post-election event, The Hunt Institute will host a discussion with Former U.S. Secretaries of Education Margaret Spellings and Arnie Duncan, New York City Chancellor Richard Carranza and Miami-Dade Superintendent Alberto Carvalho delving into how leaders from both parties can approach supporting education at the state- and national-level.
