Dr. Keri D. Ingraham on the Most Important Issues in American K-12 Education
It’s no secret that American education is experiencing a profound crisis. Many of our children can’t read, do mathematics, or learn basic life skills. At the same time, many accuse the education establishment of imposing radical ideological views on children such as gender ideology and anti-Americanism.
The good news is that concerted efforts are underway to reform education to better equip children for adulthood and to be productive members of society. My colleague at Discovery Institute — Dr. Keri D. Ingraham, Director of the American Center for Transforming Education — has followed these developments closely and has learned opinions about what has gone wrong in education, what is working, and what should be done to improve the system. So, I asked her back to Humanize to discuss the issues she thinks are most important for us to understand as a new president is about to be elected.
Dr. Ingraham holds a Doctor of Education degree and a Master of Education degree from Regent University. Her undergraduate Bachelor of Arts degree was awarded from George Fox University, where she was named an Academic All-American.
Prior to joining Discovery Institute, she spent nearly two decades leading within the field as a national consultant, requested conference speaker, head of school, virtual and hybrid academy director, administrator, classroom teacher, and athletic coach.
Dr. Ingraham has been a guest on Fox News multiple times. Her articles have been published by The Wall Street Journal, New York Post, The Federalist, Real Clear Education, The Washington Times, National Review, The American Spectator, Washington Examiner, The Epoch Times, The Seattle Times, Puget Sound Business Journal, The Daily Signal, and a host of other media outlets.
Dr. Ingraham was awarded the George W. Selig Doctoral Fellowship in 2013. The following year she received the “World Changer in the Field of Education” award from Regent University. In 2008, she was selected as a “Teacher of Excellence.”
