Noting that there are no “quick fixes,” she said it takes at least five years to determine whether an intervention has been effective.
The Bush Institute is part of the George W. Bush Presidential Center, which also will include a presidential library and is set to be completed in 2013 on the campus of Southern Methodist University.
The institute, which is already up and running, focuses on education reform, global health, human freedom, and economic growth. Last year, the institute unveiled its first big education initiative, which focuses on improving the performance of school principals.
The institute’s Alliance to Reform Education Leadership, or AREL, will consist of school districts, universities, and foundations offering educational programs to current and future school leaders.
Initial funding for the Bush Institute’s middle school project comes from a $500,000 donation from the Meadows Foundation.
