XQ

Innovator Sponsor

XQ is the nation’s leading organization dedicated to rethinking high school. We help high schools become centers of innovative and rigorous learning, where every student is prepared to succeed in college, career, and life. Our free tools and products empower educators, communities, and policymakers to disrupt outdated systems by redesigning schools and transforming student learning to be more relevant and engaging. Our approach is guided by deep research, and powered by data and storytelling that inspire action. In partnership with a growing network of schools, districts, and states, we are advancing a movement that radically transforms the high school experience.

The Hechinger Report

Pathfinder Sponsor

The Hechinger Report is an independent nonprofit newsroom, covering inequality and innovation in education with in-depth journalism that is free to read. Since 2010, we’ve been taking readers inside classrooms and onto campuses with stories that use research and data to show the public what schools and students need to succeed — and why that matters.

We’ve made a name for ourselves as independent journalists who understand the complexities of teaching and learning. Our work is published on our website, through our five newsletters and is magnified via our local, regional and national news media partners who rely on our high-quality reporting on schools, at a time when fewer outlets have the expertise or resources to cover education.
