"At Penn GSE, our students and faculty are dedicated to the idea that education can create opportunity in communities across the country and around the globe. In our 2nd century, we continue to be one of the most innovative schools of education in the country. What hasn’t changed is our commitment to preparing the next generation of transformational teachers, leaders, and scholars to put the cutting-edge research of our faculty into practice and to generate new understandings of their own."
Grounded in a commitment to research backed up by $53 million in funded work, Penn GSE is an Ivy League school finding solutions to the challenges facing education.
