Schools are not just facing the need to recover from the pandemic—they must recover from a system of schooling that was poorly designed to provide high-quality learning opportunities for every student. Fortunately, a diverse array of communities are working to reinvent schooling in pursuit of their visions for thriving young people and families. The learning environments they’re designing and redesigning don’t all look the same—in fact, far from it.

Schools are critical settings to develop the next generation of adults engaged in society.  However, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on student learning. This project supports children’s academic learning by pairing students from Arizona State University trained in tutoring with elementary schools in the Greater Phoenix region.

Through this initiative, the Foundation seeks ambitious projects that confront gaps in undergraduates’ civic knowledge and prepares them for the intellectual demands of democratic participation. Successful proposals will seek to promote learning about the formation of the American republic, the crafting of its Constitution, the history of contention over the interpretation of the Constitution, the development of representative political structures, and the principles of democracy.

Longview funds proposals for one-year grants focused on increasing global dimensions within K-12 education in the U.S. submitted using one of the following strategies. Successful applications will contribute to the field and/or will impact significant numbers of students. We are placing a priority on applications that support professional development for teachers, globalizing career pathways, using AI to bring the world into your classroom, fostering civic discourse, and access to strong on-line global content in the categories as described below.
