Description

As part of the Brookings Scholar Lecture Series, Brookings Mountain West presents a lecture titled, "Scaling Promising Education Initiatives Locally & Around the World" by Brookings senior fellow in global economy and development, Brad Olsen.

What does it mean to scale a promising education innovation or initiative throughout a location? Why is “scaling” a useful approach for education improvement? What is the current state of scaling in education—and how can it be leveraged to better support schools, teachers, learners, communities, and the transformation of whole education systems in the U.S. and around the world? Brad Olsen, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and professor emeritus at the University of California, Santa Cruz, will discuss what it means to enact deep, equitable, and broad change in schools and education systems today. Highlighting various reforms and examples of scaling success and failure in the U.S. and globally, this lecture will explore what it takes to improve education in ways that last.
