With deep knowledge of the education field, HGSE professors influence current conversations in the media, giving educators and students a much-needed voice for positive change.
"I’m not sure that we know all the reasons why our students are struggling, but a major part of the story is that schools are spending less time on history and civics content than was typical decades ago. ... It’s an exaggeration to say that only what gets tested is what gets taught, but it’s not too far from the truth."
