Education Reform Now

Education Reform Now is a national think tank and advocacy organization that develops and drives forward bold, new ideas aimed at transforming the American public education system and better serving all students, especially low-income students and students of color.

Education Reform Now publishes original research, white papers, and issue briefs analyzing trends and exploring new, forward-leaning ideas in education. We help shape the education policy narrative through mass media. We publish magazine articles, op-eds, and blog posts, as well as advise state and local officials and community-based organizations on specific education policy efforts. Crucially, we provide technical assistance in drafting legislation at the federal, state, and local levels and help advocates strategize paths to enactment. Each year we convene our annual conference, Camp Philos, where lawmakers, academics, advocates, and others gather to exchange education reform ideas and lessons learned. In short, we’re developing the next generation of education equity ideas and leaders
