Millions of students rely on #FAFSA each year to determine their eligibility for critical financial aid to help them pursue and complete a postsecondary education. Delivering a simple, redesigned form is a key part of ensuring more students can achieve academic success.

This #BlackHistoryMonth, I look back with immense pride and gratitude at leaders in the Black community who have paved the way for following generations, making strides in their fields to build a more equitable nation.
Thank you to all of our partners and my colleagues at the foundation. Your vision for an equitable future for everyone and your commitment to doing that work continue to inspire me and give me hope. usprogram.gatesfoundation.org/news-and-insig…

Growing up, I was told I wasn’t a “math person” and I believed it. Now, as a parent, I see the power of math and am proud @GatesUS is committed to making sure all students can see themselves as capable of succeeding in math.

“Improving #math isn’t a pipe dream. We can create classrooms and instruction where everyone is good at math. So today is the beginning — much remains to be done.” Well said, @BobHughesK12! the74million.org/article/the-1-…
"The most fulfilling part of tutoring is that ‘aha’ moment when students finally believe in themselves." @SagaEducation delivers high-impact tutoring — my colleague @BobHughesK12 explains why this is a critical investment for today's students. nytimes.com/2022/10/06/edu…
I’m excited to share the new Social Safety Net Product Studio which will accelerate innovation and open access to over $100 million in safety net benefits for families earning low incomes. @SchmidtFutures @BallmerGroup @Schusterman_Org schmidtfutures.com/our-work/benef…
Why are fewer high school graduates enrolling in #HigherEd? We partnered with @HCMStrat & EDGE Research to ask 1,600+ students in seven states why they decided not to go to college. Here’s what they said: usprogram.gatesfoundation.org/news-and-insig…
Excited to share the newly updated #EconomicMobility Catalog from @Results4America aimed at helping local governments implement proven best practices in education, healthcare, housing, and more toward ensuring equitable outcomes in their communities.

Researchers at @OppInsights, @Harvard, @Stanford, @nyuniversity conducted one of the largest studies on social capital in America to better understand its impact on economic mobility. Learn more at @NYT: nytimes.com/interactive/20…
My path to a college degree was largely a function of luck. My piece in today’s @GOVERNING talks about the vital role states can play in raising #PostSecValue leading to more equitable economic outcomes for everyone. governing.com/now/states-vit…
The significance of #Juneteenth serves as a powerful reminder that we must all commit to the work of building communities where everyone has access to equitable outcomes. 1/5
I'm excited to join the @EduventuresInc #EVSummit22 next Friday, June 17 to discuss the future of higher ed — including postsecondary value, student-centered policies, aligning P20W data systems, and ensuring equitable outcomes for all students!

As @Sara_Allan says, it’s time to make sure “not just a lucky few” have adequate support in the transition from high school to college. Our Accelerate ED grant team is working to accelerate student progress and career connections. the74million.org/article/allan-…

Thank you to @AllanGolston of the @gatesfoundation for addressing #county leaders today at the 2023 NACo Annual Conference #NACoAnn
The @NAEP_NCES data is sobering, as my colleague Bob Hughes lays out below. It will take all of us to get students back on track and our team is committed to working with partners to recover and accelerate student learning in math.
The @NAEP_NCES math decline isn’t just a dip, it’s a wakeup call that should give us all a sense of urgency around improving education in this country & giving students & teachers the support they need. Our team has taken a look at the data and a few things stand out to us: (1/9)

We’re at a critical inflection point in the U.S. with the opportunity to chart an inclusive economic recovery that leaves no one behind. After speaking at @NCRC’s #JustEconomy Conference this week, I believe we can reach that goal together.
A great teacher is the best resource we can give our children.
