In Fall 2023, a cohort of Federation of American Scientists (FAS) Impact Fellows convened and engaged in preparatory thought work together before deployment to the US Department of Education. The Learning Innovation Impact Fellows, Dr. Katherine McEldoon and Dr. Alex Resch, were tasked with leveraging this group’s expertise to identify the most pressing problems of practice currently facing US education.
Together, the fellows identified 66 problems of practice that fall across a handful of topic areas, namely: high quality instruction, educational technologies, assessment and data systems, teaching as a profession, student health and wellbeing, school culture, post-secondary career & society preparedness, early childhood education, and community and informal education.
