The 1983 report A Nation at Risk: The Imperative for Educational Reform set in motion decades of policy and practice changes, giving rise to what we know today as the modern school reform movement. Looking back over the last 40 years, what has changed for students and schools in America? What has been the result of the efforts, attention, and resources deployed to improve schools? Are there “lessons learned” that can help guide post-No Child Left Behind improvement strategies?

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. Hoover’s education experts also engage the larger community of state and local policy makers, parents, and other stakeholders to develop solutions that are relevant, meaningful, and actionable.
