The school pension board has already pumped over $450 million since 1999 into a New York private equity manager, Insight Partners. But this time six trustees balked.
SESP Profs. Brian Reiser, Megan Bang and Jonathan Guryan joined the National Academy of Education for their contributions to education-related research, according to a University news release.
The National Academy of Education is a non-profit organization that promotes education policy and practice. Reiser, Bang and Guryan joined 12 other Northwestern professors with their election, marking the first time three NU faculty have been elected in one year.
Reiser, who leads SESP’s Next Generation Science Storylines project, researched how students learn science and worked with local educators during the start of the pandemic to adapt OpenSciEd curriculum and fit students’ shifting academic needs. He was also on a committee that wrote a paper titled “Framework for K-12 Science Education,” a report that resulted in the Next Generation Science Standards, which have been integrated into or inspired the education policies of 44 states.
