Our Work

The Education Trust advances its mission along several fronts, from raising its voice in national and state policy debates to helping teachers improve instruction in their classrooms. Regardless of where we work, we maintain a relentless focus on improving the education of all students—particularly those the system traditionally has left behind.

The Education Trust provides:

advocacy that encourages schools, colleges, and communities to mount effective campaigns so that all students can reach high levels of academic achievement;
analysis and expert testimony on policies intended to improve education and close the gaps in opportunity and achievement between groups of students;
writing and speaking for professional and general audiences about effective educational patterns and practices;
research and public dissemination of data identifying achievement patterns among different groups of students; and
assistance to school districts, colleges, and community-based organizations to advance their efforts in raising student achievement, especially among low-income and minority students.
