Democratizing Access to Education Policy
Education Commons is a free, open-source platform that makes education policy accessible, understandable, and actionable for every American.
Empowering informed civic participation in education
We believe that education policy decisions should be made with input from all stakeholders—teachers, parents, students, and community members. But meaningful participation requires access to accurate, timely information presented in ways people can understand and act upon.
Education Commons bridges the gap between complex policy processes and everyday citizens by providing free tools to explore state education systems, track legislation in real-time, find representatives, and engage in constructive civic dialogue.
