U.S. Program strategies
Improving education and social and economic mobility are national challenges with local complexities. We know there are no “silver bullet” solutions. This is some of the hardest work we do at the foundation.
-
Supporting students in navigating key transition points to ensure success in school and into their careers. -
Supporting educators and district leaders in K-12 public schools in their work to improve student outcomes for Black, Latino and students from low-income backgrounds. -
Transforming colleges and universities to increase student success and make sure that race, ethnicity, and income are not predictors of that success. -
Helping our economic systems perform better and increasing opportunities for those experiencing poverty to achieve economic security. -
Our Data strategy supports efforts to improve education and workforce data systems to ensure that they count every student and their outcomes in order to drive more equitable outcomes for all students from early learning through college and into careers. -
Ensuring pre-K educators have the instructional tools they need to engage curious young minds and spark joyful learning for all children.
