Galef Institute

Different Ways of Knowing (Galef Institute)

"In 1989, acting on a shared desire to make a difference in the lives of children, Andrew and Bronya Galef founded the Galef Institute. Dedicating their time and resources to their commitment to children and the improvement of educational communities, they organized the Galef Institute as an educational nonprofit whose primary goal is to work with educators in public schools, schools of education, and other organizations to improve student achievement by strengthening the teaching profession.

"Together, they assembled a leading team of educators and researchers who developed the school improvement initiative Different Ways of Knowing. Today, across the country, schools, cultural institutions, foundations, and corporations recognize the Galef Institute’s Different Ways of Knowing as a source of hope and promise for public education."
