Welcome from Academic Dean

On behalf of the faculty, welcome to the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE). Our faculty, students, and alumni are currently addressing critical challenges facing education around the world, including student assessment, the achievement gap, urban education, and teacher shortages. We are excited that you are interested in learning how we
prepare our doctoral students to become future leaders of education practice, policy, and research. Our website provides a window into the HGSE community and we invite you to explore.
