Our Projects

Our Projects

Every child deserves great schools and the lifelong opportunities they afford. Yet too often, outdated policies hold back schools and limit families’ options. We challenge unfair education policies and propose common sense solutions through advocacy and legal action. Our first project is in New York, helping students fight laws that deny them access to great teachers.

Resources

Education policies should be rooted in evidence and common sense, and they should always make student learning the top priority. Decades of nonpartisan research have shown what works—and what doesn’t—when it comes to giving every child access to a great education.

We are fighting not just for our children, but for all children who have fallen through the cracks of a broken system.

We help families fight against outdated laws that keep poorly-performing teachers in the classroom and make it harder for schools to keep their best teachers. Laws like these are keeping millions of children in New York, Minnesota, and across the country from getting the great public education they deserve. We want to hear how outdated policies have affected your family and others in your community. We’d also like to hear your perspective on why it’s so important that all students have the opportunity to learn from great teachers. Share your story with us using the form below.
