The James B. Hunt, Jr. Institute for Educational Leadership and Policy

Advancing Reform, Sustaining Results

As Governor of North Carolina, Jim Hunt recognized the need for governors to make the connection between the politics and policy of education reform. At that time, no national organization existed to assist governors with the complex reality that good education policy is necessarily crafted in a political environment. It is at that intersection of politics and policy that the Hunt Institute was founded to meet leaders' needs.

"One-size-fits-all" answers don't work in state education reform. The most effective solutions are those informed by the experiences within an individual state and from other states that are then crafted to address specific needs. The Hunt Institute is able to address those needs by remaining a nimble and responsive organization - one that develops customized solutions and advice to help improve education in individual states. Our approach is comprised of two integrally connected core competencies:

State Engagement: working directly with governors and other state leaders to jointly craft solutions for individual states

Convening: bringing together governors and other leaders nationwide to exchange lessons learned and discuss strategies at Hunt Institute programs and symposia

Our core competencies are mutually reinforcing and complementary - each contributes to our knowledge base of successful educational policy and practice. The result is a deep understanding and practical expertise that leads not only to customized solutions, but to better solutions for education improvements.
