Sarah Schwartz is a reporter with Education Week. She covers teaching and learning in America’s schools.

Sarah has shown how many popular reading programs promote ineffective teaching methods, tracked the impact of dozens of state laws banning lessons on race and gender, and explored how schools can best support students who struggle the most. Her work illuminates the national trends and fierce ideological battles that shape what children learn, and her stories investigate what works when it comes to instruction—and what’s failing kids. 

Sarah’s reporting has been nominated for an Education Writers Association award and featured at SXSW EDU. She lives in Chicago.
