Resources
The changes we envision are substantial, but feasible and cannot be accomplished by any single entity, funder, or organization. To support collective action, we are gathering resources for building infrastructure, skill, and capacity.
Network Resources
When public education is research-based, resourced, and community-powered, it is indispensable for advancing equity, ensuring a vibrant economy, and establishing a representative democracy. Working with a vast network of leaders in the field of education, we are co-creating resources that enable building on what works, changing what doesn’t, and constantly improving to achieve an equitable, high-quality, public education system.

Community Schools Playbook
Community Schools provide each and every student with the resources, opportunities, and support that make academic success possible and that create strong ties among families, students, schools, and community. This guide provides tools for advancing community schools as a strategy to improve schools, provide more equitable opportunities, and prepare students for success in life and as citizens.

Challenges like racial injustice, inequity, and remodeling the education system can be solved by working together in new ways. To support this, we are gathering resources from partners and leaders in the field that illustrate the importance of public education, provide helpful research on what’s working and the challenges ahead, and present affirmative approaches to policy and practice.
