“IBM’s Reinventing Education program has produced successful solutions that are dismantling long-standing barriers to public school reform—barriers like how teachers are trained, how information is shared and used, and how learning is measured. But more, this evaluation revealed that the intense partnership process which distinguished Reinventing Education from other school reform efforts led to real change in the way schools went about the business of teaching children.” –Center for Children and Technology’s three-year evaluation of IBM’s Reinventing Education Program

“There are very few examples of a sustained, sweeping long-term approach that attempts to really transform the nature of a social institution like education. IBM is a role model and a pioneer in that regard. Each one of these projects is not simply a local solution that works for that school system; each one of them is a process, a platform, that is transferable immediately all over the world.”
—Rosabeth Moss Kanter Professor Harvard Business School
