Improving Schools is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to helping underserved students gain access to top-quality education by improving existing systems, structures, and practices at the schools, network, and district levels. We focus on developing capacity in school leaders and teachers. We believe that all districts, even those that have traditionally struggled, are home to talented educators who, when properly recognized, organized, and developed, have great potential to lead transformative change in their schools.

The cornerstone of building strong, visionary individuals who can inspire and guide teams toward success. It focuses on cultivating essential skills such as decision-making, communication, and emotional intelligence, empowering leaders to navigate challenges and drive positive change.

Improving Schools Teacher Development program focuses on developing a core cohort of teachers across grade-levels to become change-makers in the school. Where Lead and/or Master Teacher positions exist, Improving Schools will work with that already-identified cohort to hone their teaching skills, develop high-leverage data-analysis practices, and create high functioning Teacher Team/PLCs. Where these positions are not in existence, our program will either serve to help to create those roles, and/or identify a cohort of high-potential teachers to develop.
