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

The Gates Foundation is excited to announce Cheryl Hyman as the new director of Pathways in the US Program. Throughout her career, Cheryl has championed innovative, student-centered pathways that help young people successfully transition from high school to postsecondary education and into careers that offer economic mobility.

We're expanding our work to create opportunities for high school students to get ahead with dual enrollment, career-focused advising, and cross-sector collaboration. In 2025, we’re expanding our work in states, focusing on the power of tech for advising and credit mobility, and building stronger partnerships to ensure every student has a clear path to success.
