Program areas at SchoolSeed
We are razor focused on the delivery and improved outcomes by managing a variety of services and programs for the benefit of schools, educators, students, and parents. The Foundation's mission is to secure and manage private resources for the benefit of public education, coordinate community efforts to support public education, provide development and training opportunities to teachers and administrators, and to operate and support programs in schools dedicated to accelerating student achievement. Our body of work includes, but is not limited to : fiscal management of private support for public education; teacher retention and recognition projects: school-based projects that support students, teachers, and administrators; publication of a Resource Guide for Parents; recruiting, training, and deploying reading tutors for students PK-3rd grade; supports for effective teaching; leadership training; and special projects that attend to emerging needs. Our theory of change is predicated on the idea that capacity building in schools, support for teachers and leaders, rigorous curriculum, target setting, ongoing improvement of curriculum and instruction, and promoting effective practice will accerate student and school achievement. The Foundation's theory of action calls for: the building and sustaining of a collaborative partnership with school districts and their school-based leadership; building and sustaining of a collaborative partnership with the philanthropic and business community; providing supplementary supports to students, teachers, and administrators; and tracking and monitoring the progress of projects. The Foundation seeks to increase college attendance and graduation rates-a matter of equity; access, and community developent.
