OUR PHILOSOPHY

We envision a nation where every student has equitable access to excellent teaching, regardless of zip code.

Our mission is to close the opportunity gap of a radically unequal education system for under-served and historically marginalized children.

A National Problem

The education system is broken, leaving the highest-need students from low-income areas without adequate support. Equity in education demands equal access to excellent teachers.

Our Solution

Invest in teachers and education leaders so students from systematically marginalized communities have the same access to excellent teaching as students in affluent communities.

Positive Impact

We use evidence-based, content-specific methods to coach teachers and education leaders through collaborative teams, hands-on institutes, on-site support and online coaching.
