Partners in School Innovation's mission is to transform teaching and learning in the lowest-performing American public schools so that every student, regardless of background, thrives.Our efforts are guided by a vision of urban public schools that continually strive to be exciting places to teach, learn and grow. We believe that by investing in the current teachers and leaders in our partner schools and districts they can achieve outstanding results for their students. Founded in 1993, Partners actively seeks to disrupt patterns of inequity in education by developing systems and structures that work effectively to close persistent achievement gaps based on race, class, and culture.
