The Reinventing Education grant program forms the centerpiece of IBM's global commitment to education. Through Reinventing Education, IBM is working with school partners throughout the world to develop and implement innovative technology solutions designed to solve some of education's toughest problems.
To each grant site, IBM is contributing more than just money; we are dedicating our world-renowned researchers, educational consultants, and technology. Through these contributions, we are finding new ways for technology to spur and support fundamental school restructuring and broad-based systemic change to raise student achievement.
Reinventing Education also includes an interactive Web-based Change Toolkit based on the work of Harvard Business School Professor Rosabeth Moss Kanter. The toolkit, which is accessible to all educators, is designed to help school leaders expand and sustain their education reform efforts.
Evaluation is a critical component of our work. While we continue to monitor our progress, rigorous, independent evaluations from the Center for Children & Technology and the Harvard Business School have told us that our significant investment of technology and know-how is having a positive, measurable impact on our school partners.
