Sarah Luchs

Biography

Since joining EDUCAUSE in 2013, Sarah Luchs has coordinated the K-12 grant making strategies for Next Generation Learning Challenges where we invest in promising educators and the next gen learning designs that define Breakthrough Schools. The investment strategy of incubating proof-point schools is scaling rapidly in DC, Chicago, Oakland, New Orleans, Colorado, and New England, thanks to the efforts of regional partners. Each partner approaches the work a little differently, so NGLC enables flexibility and personalization while upholding some common expectations needed to ensure quality at scale. Sarah’s background in policy, evaluation, and political science proved a good fit for the Ohio Department of Education where she spent more than a decade of her career working on a breadth of challenges from closing achievement gaps to extending quality digital learning to ensuring college and career readiness.
