Berkeley's new school Superintendent, Donald Evans, is a graduate of the GSE's LEEP program, and is looking for closer collaboration with UCB-- You have one of the finest researchbased institutions right here, but it’s being underutilized in a way that we could be a leading district in the country, he said. How can you have this top university that has one of the top education departments, yet they’re not a major factor in terms of promoting top practices throughout the district?"

Professor Mendoza-Denton's research was included in the amicus brief for Fisher v. UT Austin, the case the Supreme Court decided this morning. The brief discusses at length the stereotype threat analysis and findings of Claude Steele, et al. https://www.box.com/s/20bbf715bb52380154ff
