Overview

The Reagan Institute Summit on Education (RISE) brings together leaders and key stakeholders in the education community – including members of Congress, leaders in the education sector, scholars, state Governors, business leaders, administration officials, and others – to assess the health of, and address the key issues in education in the United States. This year's summit will explore the theme "Empowering Every Learner" at the Ronald Reagan Institute in Washington, DC.

RISE is dedicated to thoroughly examining pivotal education issues framed around the people we serve – students, their families, and the educator community.

Against the backdrop of a polarized educational landscape, RISE 2024 seeks to engage parents and families as partners in the education of our learners to co-create a more inclusive and responsive education system.

RISE aims to be an opportunity to engage in civil discourse where common ground can be explored, mutual goals identified, and steps forged to collaborate. RISE will elevate the conversation around education and work towards preparing our country’s next generation for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
