| Notes |
NLET as a private organization seeks to emulate the way the U.S. national laboratories investigate answers to large complex problems through research and development starting from first-principles.
The National Laboratory for Education Transformation, “NLET,” is a California non-profit corporation (501C3) that was incorporated March 15, 2011.
The concept for the non-profit grew out of conversations in 2009 with individuals at the San Jose Unified School District (Marcy Lauck, Bill Erlendson), who were national experts at data warehousing and community building for the personalization of education and the management of academic performance. The conversation was expanded to individuals at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, where there is an interest in producing future engineers and scientists, to faculty at the University of California Santa Cruz, which has a commitment to widening education access and redefining learning and to the University of Texas Austin where there is an interest in the visualization of education data.
