We seek to understand the role of race, culture, socio-economics and privilege in our partner schools and communities, because we know that inequities persist. We actively reflect on our own and others’ experiences, perspectives, and identities. We take actions grounded in our awareness to enhance the strength of our organization, deepen our partnerships with schools, and positively impact students’ lives.
We enthusiastically seize possibilities and act with an entrepreneurial spirit. We are optimistic about the future of education and take initiative to pave new roads towards closing gaps in student achievement. We innovate after careful study and reflection and with disciplined thought. We are intellectually curious.
