Partnering to help all kids learn
Why we do what we do
Mission-Driven
Though visually-impaired students represent just 0.11% of the US student population, we invested to make our MAP Growth assessment accessible to them. And we taught others to do the same.
We are proud funders of a nationally-recognized research partnership with the University of Portland that engages with local school systems and extends their capacity for district-driven research. In its first three years, the partnership has completed over 50 projects.
It’s a significant paradigm shift—from approaching student learning as ‘What’s wrong with this child?’ to ‘What can I do to help meet this child’s needs?’ When people believe in their ability to intervene and truly influence learning, they can create very powerful results.
