Education Policy Group

The Education Policy group aims to create a safe space for graduate students that fosters solution-oriented conversations around educational equity. Each group meeting will be led by a group of classmates that are interested in a specific education policy topic that will include a short presentation and reflection questions to get the conversation going. Participation in this student group will be an excellent leadership opportunity for GSPP students to better articulate and discuss topics that relate to their future careers.

We welcome everyone, not just those interested in education policy!

Sample meeting topics:
-School to prison pipeline
-Undocumented students and families
-Children experiencing homelessness
-Public vs Charter
-School finance
-Healthcare (e.g. mental illness, school-based clinics)
