Amount: Up to $200,000
Deadline: Nov. 11, 2019 | Sept. 13, 2019
“Through [the program], we invest in teams of educators who want to launch new, innovative public schools that prepare young people to finish high school prepared and inspired to create and live the lives they want – good lives, full of opportunity, choices, connection and meaning. These schools will reimagine the learning experience for students, particularly those from underserved communities.
Investing in talent has long been a part of the NewSchools strategy. One of the biggest talent challenges in education today is diversifying the pool of teachers and leaders to better reflect and serve public school students. Our goal is for the PreK-12 education workforce to mirror the racial demographics of U.S. students today. We work towards this goal by:
- Investing in innovators with bold ideas to diversify education leadership.
- Influencing education entrepreneurs, funders and partners to prioritize diversity, equity and inclusion.
- Reinforcing our commitment to diversity at NewSchools to ensure we are well equipped to deliver on our goals.”
