The Education Trust
The Education Trust promotes high academic achievement for all students at all levels—pre-kindergarten through college. Our goal is to close the gaps in opportunity and achievement that consign far too many young people—especially those from low-income families or who are black, Latino, or American Indian—to lives on the margins of the American mainstream.
Facing Race
The Facing Race We're All in This Together initiative meets people and institutions where they are, gives them tools to discuss issues of race and racism and moves them to take action to end racism and discrimination. The initiative promotes a new type of conversation on race that recognizes, respects and values difference. By re-focusing conversations on race in this way we hope to move beyond old, frustrating conversations that frequently focus on blame and guilt.
A website rich in e-newsletters and e-zines for educators. The focus of the website is to provide individuals working with middle and high school level learners with strategies and teaching tips to enhance performance and student learning.
