Review for Breakthrough Silicon Valley, San Jose, CA, USA
I wish every student and potential teacher could have the kind of opportunities and support that Breakthrough provides! This program has a track record of changing the life trajectory of many deserving students and making their families proud.
Review for Partners In School Innovation, San Francisco, CA, USA
I first became familiar with Partners as a Program Evaluator over ten years ago. I have watched their work supporting school improvement become more strategic and focused over the years. This year I observed a grade level meeting in which teachers worked together to review student data and discuss how to target their literacy teaching to specific under-achieving students, all of whom spoke English as their second language. Partners supports teachers to learn how to accelerate the learning of their most challenging students by evaluating the effectiveness of their instruction against actual student outcomes and sharing effective practices and challenges among colleagues.
