Overview:
The Global Science of Learning and Education Network (GSoLEN) provides extensive resources for educators within higher education and K-12 education. GSoLEN brings together scientists, educators, practitioners, policy experts, philanthropists, and edtech companies from over 60 countries around the world committed to addressing societal challenges at a global scale through science of learning initiatives. GSoLEN has a 42-member international advisory board that includes renowned educators, researchers, and corporate leaders. Seed funding for GSoLEN has been provided by the National Science Foundation, Gates Foundation, Jacobs Foundation, the National Public Education Support Fund (NPESF), Carnegie Corporation of New York, and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
Mission:
To achieve maximum worldwide benefit from science-based strategies designed to meet the learning needs of our global future and to overcome the impact of systemic inequities on learning.
Vision: To elevate learning around the world by providing a science of learning network of networks for collaboratively building a global scientific infrastructure to address the increasing learning needs of children and young people and the teaching practices necessary to address them in a fast-changing future.
Optimize GSoLEN Resources:
The GSoLEN website provides many resources and opportunities to get engaged. Educators can subscribe to GSoLEN to learn more about upcoming GSoLEN talks and events as well as receive links for the latest news and resources from their library.
