Theory of Action

If we ensure high quality, culturally-relevant instruction in every classroom, strong hiring practices, high levels of support for teachers, strong accountability practices based on data, courageous leadership, and effective engagement with families and community, then student achievement will improve, more students will perform at or above grade level, and achievement gaps will improve or disappear.
