Phoenix Rising

New ideas for a new era of public education

Public education in the U.S. stands at a crossroads, shaken by policy shifts, pandemic-driven learning loss, and declining student achievement. While change is essential, poorly conceived reforms risk doing more harm than good. At CRPE, we believe a phoenix can rise from these challenges—but only through bold, well-reasoned ideas that break free from outdated cycles and prepare students for a rapidly evolving future. This new series will explore the evolving federal role in education, innovative reforms, and the shifting responsibilities of states and communities. This is a forum for fostering debate and fresh thinking to help education rise anew.
