Our work in Educational Quality focuses on programs with measurable results that improve student outcomes. We primarily fund projects that strengthen the teacher pipeline or support educators in their professional development, advancing the quality of the educational system overall.
Supporting Educators to Promote Quality Education
Encouraging individuals to enter the teaching profession is vitally important as the nation faces teacher shortages, but the quality of their teaching in the classroom is also paramount. Fostering students’ learning requires technique as well as enthusiasm for the material. The Trust funds projects focused on not only strengthening the teacher pipeline but also on supporting the professional development needs of existing educators.
Quality to Improve Student Outcomes
Educational institutions share general objectives and needs, but vary widely in available resources. Because we believe anyone pursuing an education should receive the highest quality education available, the Trust will work in close partnership with individual institutions to define needed initiatives on campus to support positive student outcomes.
