In 2012, at a meeting of the Education Funders Strategy Group an inquiry was made:
Were other funders thinking about how a different set of guiding values might lead to a different set of educational policies that would help grow and support “New Models” of learning? How can funders show up in different education spaces, wanting to honoring different contexts and communities. How can we be real about the ways the system needs to update and change?
Conversation led to clarity: The dominant narrative about education was flawed and we needed a better way to articulate a powerful vision for the future of learning. We needed more power in the field to overcome the siloed nature of 1,000 different efforts. We needed an affirmative vision to bring people together.
Movement Strategy Center supported development of a long-term strategy to build field alignment among organizations and like-minded efforts with shared values and a common agenda. The core proposition was that field and funders need to pivot and partner shoulder-to-shoulder, informed by the RE-AMP network model to fundamentally change how people relate to and strategize with each other through the practice of partnership. How we move together is as critical to who we are as what we’re moving towards.
The Partnership for the Future of Learning (the Partnership) is now composed of 18 foundations and ~100 networks, organizations, districts, and institutions. Our network exists exists to protect and strengthen public education for more meaningful and equitable future of learning. For all of us.
The National Public Education Support Fund (NPESF) is the organizational and fiduciary home to the Partnership for the Future of Learning. NPESF is a hub for convening and connecting influential leaders in education philanthropy, advocacy, research, policy, and practice.
