Reflecting forty years back and projecting forty years forward, RISE 2023: The Nation’s Next Horizon will examine America’s recovery and resilience, grounded in the seminal Nation at Risk report released during the Reagan administration.

RISE will examine policy and practice from early childhood through postsecondary education and beyond. The imperative for education reform is even more salient as the United States emerges from the global pandemic. We must answer the call to modernize our education system and prepare for the challenges of the 22nd century.
