Education Week’s Andrew Ujifusa reports that two researchers have joined Donald Trump’s transition team for education: Williamson Evers, a research fellow at the conservative Hoover Institution, and Gerard Robinson, a resident fellow at the conservative American Enterprise Institute.

Robinson taught inner-city fifth-graders at the start of his career. Before working at AEI, he led the state department of education in Virginia, then in Florida. He was also president of the Black Alliance for Educational Options. Robinson’s recent work and writings at AEI focus on school choice, race and criminal justice reform.
