Penn GSE is at the forefront of expanding education’s reach, boosting its effectiveness, and bringing opportunity to a broad range of learners and communities. Only you can make our work possible and change the lives of learners locally, nationally, and globally.
Penn GSE’s deep commitment to educational leadership could not be more relevant as schools, institutions, and organizations enter a new era. Penn GSE’s expertise in educational leadership spans research and practice, and the School’s impact is unique in its reach across K–12, higher education, and corporate learning.
To become active and informed citizens, young people must discover how to think critically about current issues and engage with their communities. Penn GSE students and faculty are advancing citizenship education by expanding educational access and preparing young people to participate in U.S. civic life.
Penn GSE faculty are shaping the field of education in a changing and challenging landscape across pre-K–12 and higher education. Throughout their work, they remain deeply committed to teaching, mentoring, and providing research experience to give their students the best possible educational experience.
Penn GSE seeks to recruit the finest students to become the educators and leaders the world needs, regardless of their ability to afford a Penn GSE education. Our graduates go on to lead as college presidents, school principals, superintendents, teachers, counselors, researchers, entrepreneurs, innovators, policymakers, and more.
Children’s learning opportunities from birth through age eight lay a critical foundation for their future well-being and school success. Faculty and students across Penn GSE work to improve early childhood education, pursuing mutually beneficial partnerships with communities, families, and educators to unlock opportunity for the youngest children.
Through learning sciences and technologies, Penn GSE is transforming learning environments and curricula to better reach students. Our award-winning faculty prepare students to pursue fulfilling and creative careers as educators, researchers, and developers of next-generation curricula, technology-enriched learning environments, and instructional programs.
Penn GSE is embarking upon a building expansion that will keep the School—and the future educators and leaders we produce—at the forefront of a new era in education. The result will be a state-of-the-art, interdisciplinary hub for Penn GSE’s nearly 1,400 students to learn side by side as they prepare to transform lives through education.
A transformational new scholarship at Penn GSE will provide significant funding to diversify the nation’s pipeline of teachers and educational leaders and propel work that benefits marginalized populations.
A pivotal moment in Penn GSE’s history, the groundbreaking ceremony for the School’s dramatic building expansion marked the start of a project that will fulfill Dean Grossman’s vision of “One Penn GSE.”
Penn GSE exceeded the largest fundraising goal in its history, dramatically increasing support for priorities across the School.
