About Education Evolving
Our school system was never designed to equitably serve all students, nor to prepare them for a changing 21st-century world.
Fortunately, brilliant and entrepreneurial students, educator teams, and communities are changing this reality. They’re building student-centered schools where relationships are centered and students’ identities are honored and nurtured—and where learning is driven by students, relevant to and embedded in their lives and communities, and oriented around mastering skills rather than passing time in seats.
Our organization’s role is to support these leaders at the policy and systems level—opening up opportunities, clearing barriers they face, and helping to scale up what they’ve proven works. Specifically, our theory of change is two-fold:
We advance this theory of change through three strategies: thought leadership to shift hearts and minds; advocacy to shift policies and institutions; and educator support to shift practices and prove change is possible. For more information see our About Us page.
