Founded in 1920, the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) is committed to advancing the field of education through research, practice, and innovation. HGSE prepares passionate educators, leaders, and researchers to transform education systems and expand opportunity for all learners. Bringing together diverse scholars and practitioners, HGSE reimagines education through rigorous inquiry and community-driven action. The Democratic Knowledge Project (DKP),  under the leadership of Danielle Allen, is a K-12 civics education initiative focused on research, resource and assessment development, and implementation. Extending the successful pilot of the Summer Institute for Teaching and Learning (SILT), a professional development program for teachers, this award supports HGSE's DKP in advancing the design, implementation, and evaluation of a week-long in-person summer learning institute for civics educators in the summers of 2025 through 2027.
