About us
The Hechinger Report is an independent, nonprofit newsroom. We publish stories and documentaries about inequality and innovation in education. Our in-depth journalism uses research, data and stories from classrooms and campuses to show the public how education can be improved and why it matters. You will find many of our stories in the pages of the nation’s biggest newspapers, magazines and websites and on the air of its most prominent broadcasters. That’s because we provide our work to them for free, to increase awareness about the important stories our journalists are reporting.

That’s not unusual: Up to 60 percent of students entering community college are unprepared for college-level work, and the subject they most often need help with is math. The college asked the math department to design courses tailored to those students, starting with its welding, culinary arts and criminal justice programs. The first of those, math for welders, rolled out in 2013. More than a decade later, welding department instructors say that math for welders has had a huge impact on student performance.

"One fear we have is that too many education stakeholders have given up on school improvement because they don’t believe it’s possible. Our case studies show that not only is improvement possible but also that these common strategies can help even those schools with the most challenging circumstances to succeed." w/ Rianna Saslow @ The Hechinger Report

More than half of Americans ages 18 to 24 turned out for the 2020 general election. That proportion was up by more than 8 percentage points from 2016 and among college students, the proportion who voted was even higher. https://lnkd.in/e6qizc35
