We have a saying here at the WW Academy: “Try, learn, try.”

Milestones
Academy History
The Woodrow Wilson Academy of Teaching and Learning was launched by the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation in 2015. By providing competency-based master’s degree programs in teaching (and eventually in school leadership), this new graduate school is designed to transform the preparation of educators, reshaping both practice and policy nationally. In collaboration with MIT, the WW Academy also serves as an incubator and innovation lab, studying what works and
why in preparing leading educators, and offering new ideas and models to meet the needs of
21st-century schools. Learn more about our history.
