Advocates For Education

About Us

Advocates for Education (A4E) is a student organization that brings together educators, policymakers, scholars, and advocates to raise awareness about, and contribute to a greater understanding of issues in public education law and policy.

A4E has the following activities and initiatives planned for the 2006-07 academic year:

• Litigation Support: A4E students will have the opportunity to assist a national education non-profit organization with their litigation efforts
  
• Brown-Bag Series: A4E will host a series of brown-bag lunches to discuss current issues in education. Students will be able to meet faculty members and others working in education law and policy
  
• Community Outreach: We will visit innovative schools in the Boston area to meet with principals and discuss successful education models. Students can also be trained to give workshops on special education law to parents
  
• Speaker Series: A4E will continue its tradition of bringing education reform leaders, principals, and policy makers to the Law School through our speaker series. Past speakers include Dr. Rod Paige, former U.S. Secretary of Education and Dr. Betty Sternberg, Ct. Commissioner of Education
  
• Career Advising: A4E will hold several informal sessions on how to pursue a career in education law and policy. Students will interact with other students who have worked in education law as well as Wasserstein Fellows and recent graduates
