Working with Teachers to Develop Fair and Reliable Measures of Effective Teaching

The Gates Foundation has announced the next chapter of its long-term U.S. education strategy: an ambitious effort to help 10 million more learners earn credentials that lead to economic opportunity by 2045. Building on decades of partnership with educators, institutions, and communities, the strategy focuses on the critical moments in a learner's journey where targeted support can make the greatest difference. As part of this next chapter, Patrick Methvin will serve as Interim President of the U.S. Program beginning September 1, following Allan Golston's transition after 27 years of leadership. Together with an experienced leadership team, the foundation will continue advancing a learner-centered strategy designed to strengthen educational pathways and expand opportunity for millions more students.

The Gates Foundation shares a new structure organizing its U.S. education work around four milestones that shape learners' success through 2045.
