Over the past 40 years, the general approach to improving K-12 public school education involved directives that originated far from classrooms, imposed via regulation or mandate. Little consideration was paid to local conditions, and little attention was paid to successful examples.The push for rapid results produced frequent churn of reforms which limited local agency and adaptation. Looking forward, how can we rebalance responsibility and accountability for student learning? Who is best suited to manage the trajectory of student performance, and how can we ensure improvement will happen?

ABOUT THE HOOVER INSTITUTION EDUCATION SUMMIT
The Hoover Institution Education Summit features discussions with scholars, educators, activists, and other experts about the formulation and advancement of policies aimed at improving outcomes for American K–12 students. The idea for an education summit was conceptualized by Condoleezza Rice, who, since taking leadership of the Hoover Institution in 2020, has stressed the importance of quality education opportunities, especially in helping disadvantaged and minority youth overcome discrimination and achieve true social, political, and economic equality. The summit was organized by Macke Raymond, Hoover’s distinguished research fellow and founder and director of Stanford University’s Center for Research on Education Outcomes (CREDO).
ABOUT THE HOOVER EDUCATION FELLOWSHIP
The Hoover fellowship conducts extensive research in education policy. Specific issues of focus include expanding school choice, boosting American K–12 student achievement, ensuring school accountability, and increasing teacher effectiveness.
