Education and the Educator

Universal access to high-quality and relevant education may be the most fundamental element of keeping the American Dream alive for millions across the world.  Whether the question is access to affordable college, in-demand skills training, or safe and effective elementary schools, everyone deserves the chance to learn, grow and ultimately succeed. 

One prerequisite to accessible education is the availability of talented, dedicated, and inspirational educators. In conjunction with the Milken Family Foundation and the Milken Educator Awards, the Center tells the story of great teachers, and works with researchers and policymakers to tackle the tough questions around education.
