Education is the great equalizer, the means to enable any child to realize the American dream. Children in America today, however receive vastly unequal educational experiences and opportunities due to substantial differences in funding between schools. This barrier prevents too many children in poor areas from realizing their potential, leading to ever more economic inequality in our society.

Learning takes place in formal classroom settings and in informal environments where opportunities to learn are sometimes episodic, occasional and even accidental. They can come in a museum, a park, a zoo, on television, in computer games, or through a cell phone. We explore these environments to find new ideas that will engage children in very active ways and create an opportune moment to learn something new.

Research shows drastic differences in academic performance - and later life outcomes - between those who grow up in low-income households and others, as well as between ethnic minorities and whites. We examined organizations fighting to close this gap by improving the quality of K-12 education (note that we also did a separate report on organizations focused on caring for children before the age of five).

The organizations in this area are working on a difficult problem, seeking to address a gap that is significant and deep-rooted (in fact it is a gap that is visible by the age of five - see our overview for more on this). Most of the organizations we looked at were unwilling or unable to provide rigorous empirical evidence that they have improved academic outcomes for disadvantaged children; two organizations, the Knowledge is Power Program and Teach For America, made convincing cases, and we recommend them to donors. A more detailed overview of our reasoning is available here.

The MRes provides training to an advanced level in a range of social research methods. It is particularly relevant to students who intend to go on to study for a PhD, but will also be of value to those wanting to work in an environment where research forms a significant part of the work. The MRes is designed to comply with the training requirements specified by the Economic and Social Research Council. It is interdisciplinary in nature and seeks to enhance knowledge and skills that are increasingly demanded in the labour market.

I (Jane Hart) am often asked for the names of (e-)learning professionals - from both education and corporate learning - as well as other related professionals to follow on Twitter. I started this list with 101 names on it, now thanks to many people who have submitted recommendations, it has grown. If you know someone you think should be on the list, email me. The list is displayed in alphabetical order by Twitter username.
