Review for Partners In School Innovation, San Francisco, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Teachers are the most important resource in the educational enterprise, and the staff at Partners works directly in schools with teachers. Many well-meaning people have opinions about improving education generally, but few have the focus and courage to stay in the daily work of the classroom. This highly-charged and very enterprising staff is focused, hard-working, and serious about meeting literacy development goals in some of the most challenging schools in the Bay Area. The districts they serve are better because of their work.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

be very excited about the great results!

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

Moving from an employee of a sister organization to the board.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Smart, dedicated, focused.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Continue to support teachers working with students learning academic English.

Ways to make it better...

I could devote more time to working with the leadership.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

Competing with a lot of other similar organizations. The lack of commitment to public schooling by many middle-class Americans.

One thing I'd also say is that...

Keep up the good work!
