Previous WW Policy Work
The Responsive Ph.D. (2000-2006) built on previous national studies and projects that identified a mismatch between the kinds of training Ph.D.s receive in graduate school and the careers available to them. The Responsive Ph.D. initiative sought to sharpen these findings into recommendations for change and to foster models for innovation that will provide a richer purpose and a richer population for doctoral education.
The National Commission on the High School Senior Year (2000-2001) was housed at the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation. The work of the Commission was concluded in 2001. While its report is no longer available from Woodrow Wilson in hard copy, an archive copy may be accessed in PDF format.
Mathematics and Democracy: The Case for Quantitative Literacy (2001) was a publication of the National Council for Education and the Disciplines, housed through 2003 at the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation. Mathematics and Democracy is now available from the Mathematical Association of America’s Web site on quantitative literacy.
