Broad Reach, Big Benefits
During the past year we provided in-depth
programming to approximately 1,600 teachers
reaching about 23,000 students in over 100
schools—the majority in underserved areas.
We stand out among other groups trying to
raise teacher performance because of our
commitment to the public interest, and our nearly
two decades of experience fighting for urban
students’ futures.
“Over the last several
years, your coaches have
helped us transform the
school!”

Assistant Principal,
