ASU+GSV Summit

🎙️ TODAY: Students are underperforming their peers of 10 years ago in nearly every U.S. state — how did we get here, and how do we move forward? Join us for a timely conversation unpacking new research from Harvard, Stanford, and Dartmouth about the decade-long "learning recession." Moderated by Deborah Quazzo with sharp insights from John White, Christina Grant, and Thomas Kane, this reflection is critical to building a better blueprint that works for ALL students. 👉 Today at 2:30pm ET: https://hubs.li/Q04h8X680

Already driving headlines across CNN, TIME, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and more, new research from Harvard University, Stanford University, and Dartmouth College reveals a decade-long “learning recession” in America, with reading and math scores declining nationwide and the country’s lowest-performing students falling furthest behind.   Join Thomas Kane (Harvard), Dr. Christina Grant (Harvard CEPR; former D.C. State Superintendent of Education), and John White (Great Minds; former Louisiana State Superintendent of Education) for a live GSVtv conversation, moderated by Deborah Quazzo, exploring: 👉 What the data reveals about the roots of the “learning recession” 👉 What recovery looks like — and why it’s been so uneven 👉 How districts and states are beginning to reverse the trend “The pandemic was the mudslide that followed seven years of erosion in student achievement,” Kane said following the report’s release.   From science-of-reading reforms to chronic absenteeism, accountability, social media, and post-pandemic recovery, this conversation will unpack one of the most important stories in American education right now.

I was grateful to get time with a member of the ASU+GSV Summit team while at the event last month to explore more of their recent work focused on higher education. David Harris joined me to have a quick chat about the Higher Education Insights Board as well as what he sees as necessary traits for institutions to properly meet this moment. 🎧 Listen to the full episode here or wherever you get your podcasts: https://lnkd.in/ekHRuUiC

Join us in welcoming the North America K-12 chapter of the Google & GSV Ed Leader Fellowship! We are thrilled to introduce an incredible group of superintendents, chief academic officers, and district systems leaders who lead some of the most diverse and dynamic school communities across the United States and Canada. As members of Cohort 4, they’ll steward Transformational Opportunities that address some of the most critical challenges in education today, including building purpose-driven career pathways, implementing ethical AI stewardship, and driving systemic equity through operational intelligence and workflow automation. These district leaders are set to prove that meaningful innovation at scale isn't about chasing the newest tool, but about structuring entire systems to support, see, and empower every learner.

It feels fitting to reflect today, May the Fourth, on just how strong THE FORCE was at the 2026 ASU+GSV Summit — and to celebrate the incredible community of workforce leaders driving what’s next. This year marked the debut of THE FORCE, presented by Coursera, as a dedicated zone for workforce leaders at ASU+GSV. Across 20+ program sessions; curated meals; and exhibits by Coursera, Accenture LearnVantage, and Workforce Edge, we brought together leaders from enterprise, startups, nonprofits, state and federal government, and higher education — all united by a shared commitment to ensuring ALL people have equal access to the future. From the workforce opening reception, presented by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, to the conversations sparked in the Workforce Lounge, presented by Chegg Inc., and the insights surfaced through the GSV Workforce Insights Board, this Summit reinforced that this community has the power to change the trajectory of education and workforce innovation. We're already counting down the days until THE FORCE returns to San Diego for the 2027 ASU+GSV Summit — April 4–7, 2027 — and we’d love for you to be a part of it. May THE FORCE be with you, GSV Workforce Team (Jennifer Lee, Lucy Baldwin, Amanda David)
