Through Stanford’s Initiative on Improving K–12 Education, scholars from across the university—from the schools of business, law, medicine, engineering, Earth sciences, and humanities and sciences; the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center; and the Hoover Institution, are joining with experts in the School of Education to approach problems in pre-college education from multiple perspectives. And they are partnering with practitioners and policymakers to forge innovative and practical solutions. Across the disciplines on the Stanford campus today, there is significant faculty and student interest and activity in projects related to improving K–12 education. To harness this energy and to stimulate innovative approaches to the most pressing issues in K–12 education, Stanford has developed a K–12 education venture fund to provide seed grants to multidisciplinary teams of scholars pursuing promising and potentially transformative research and development projects. The purpose of the project awards is to encourage faculty throughout the Stanford campus to develop and engage in pre-college education efforts. Projects can be action projects with a research element and a well-planned evaluation strategy to document evidence of impact, or research work that bridges Stanford faculty in different Schools and Departments, and is of a type that is not easy to fund through more usual grant-funding mechanisms. The collaborative element among faculty is of vital importance, as is the new approach to addressing improvements for K-12 education.
