Here at NewSchools, we kicked off 2021 with the launch of a new three-year strategy, focused on four investment areas: Innovative Public Schools, Learning Solutions, Diverse Leaders, and Racial Equity. Our team is energized by the tremendous response from education innovators and leaders across the country.
In response to the events of 2020 and the growing outrage over racial injustice, many philanthropies are unveiling new racial equity and diversity programs. So the recent strategy rollout by the NewSchools Venture Fund has a familiar ring: The organization committed $100 million in diverse leaders and innovators working in K-12 education, while doubling down on racial equity work.
We partnered with Gallup to conduct a survey to explore the use and perception of ed tech more broadly in the United States PreK-12 public school system.
We support educators looking to launch their first and/or second charter schools. We also support educators in district schools with the autonomy to use innovative instructional design.
