Learning Lab:
Learning Lab reports on innovation and reform in education. We’re interested in what experiments are happening in Massachusetts K-12 schools, what is being learned and who is behind them. We want to understand how Massachusetts students will be learning two, five and 10 years from now.
This means we primarily intersect with three categories:
- edtech and startup incubators
- philanthropy and foundations
- business
We are building a comprehensive source of news about education innovation and reform — the successes and failures — in Massachusetts.
Learning Lab is part of WBUR‘s education coverage and is made possible with grants from The Knight Foundation and The Boston Foundation.
