  • The Koret Task Force on K–12 Education is a group of senior education scholars brought together by the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, who work collectively as well as individually on American public education reform issues. The task force was created in 1999 as part of the Hoover Institution's Initiative on American Educational Institutions and Academic Performance. The group conducts original research and assessments of a broad variety of K–12 education issues, policies, and practices. The task force supports three core education reform principles: accountability, choice, and transparency. In its scholarship and writing, the group has advanced reforms that ensure rigorous academic standards and assessments, competition among schools, parental choice, results-based performance incentives, and public access to information about every school and school system. The task force has written on such issues as accountability and academic achievement, charter schools, curriculum and learning standards, education finance issues, the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, the politics of public education, and teacher certification, professional development, and incentive pay structures. The group has advised, among others, congressional leaders and staff, governors and state legislators, state education officers, and officials at the U.S. Department of Education. The members of the task force have provided testimony before legislatures, courts, and governmental and policy organizations. Their articles and commentaries appear frequently in the pages of major publications, as well as on broadcast and electronic media. In addition to its research and analysis, the Koret Task Force serves as the editorial board of the Hoover-affiliated journal Education Next. (en)
