Vision

At The Education Trust, we have a bold, equity-centered vision of public education: a future where students of color and students from low-income backgrounds receive academic and emotional support in safe, nurturing classrooms led by strong educators from diverse backgrounds. We picture our country’s youngest learners having access to early interventions and high-quality preschools. We envision well-resourced P-12 public schools accountable to the communities they serve. We imagine all students having the freedom to pursue their passions and goals via supportive college or career pathways.
