Subject: Education, Minority Students, Academic Improvement
Deadline: Oct. 26, 2018
“The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is focused on ensuring all students in the USA, especially Black, Latino, and low-income students, have access to a great education. Our strategy to achieve this includes funding intermediary organizations to form Networks for School Improvement (NSIs). An NSI is a network of secondary schools working in partnership with an intermediary organization to use a continuous improvement process to significantly increase the number of Black, Latino, and low-income students who earn a high school diploma, enroll in a postsecondary institution, and are on track in their first year to earn a credential with labor-market value. School teams work collaboratively in partnership with a supporting intermediary organization – which could be a school district, non-profit, for-profit, or university – to use methods to identify, test, and refine solutions that target a problem. An NSI’s aim is to improve student outcomes that are predictive of high school graduation and postsecondary success.”
