goals and approach

Goals and Approach

• Build a network of exemplary Bay Area educators and organizations who demonstrate successful outcomes for the people they serve and who work toward a common good.
• Help our partners build capacity for greater impact and continuous improvement.
• Raise expectations for what is possible in the education field by showcasing our partners’ successes.
• Partner with leading reformers and advocates to address large-scale systemic solutions to California’s pressing education challenges.

We measure success one child at a time. A single child thrives with the support of sustained, positive relationships and connected, meaningful learning opportunities. At scale, long-term collaboration can improve the lives and educational experiences of all children. Grounded this belief, we hold ourselves and our partners accountable to the same principles:

Focus on the work.
Do this work because you love this work.
Be in it for the long haul. 
Honor strengths.
Be real. Be fair.
Build relationships.
Stay aware.
Reflect. Revise. Repeat.
