Our model provider portfolio was born of our Innovative Schools portfolio, specifically a subset focused on transforming existing schools. Often, these initiatives become tremendously labor-intensive. Schools started to create the schools they dreamed of by selecting curricula, materials, assessments, professional development, technology, and all other components independently. Often, those components didn’t fit together cohesively, and filling in the gaps largely fell on teachers’ shoulders. Instead, we saw a budding trends that we and schools we worked with found promising: model providers. This 2018 paper outlines our concerns, articulates our hopes, and announces our brand new model provider portfolio.
