Review for Partners In School Innovation, San Francisco, CA, USA
I was lucky enough to spend a little bit of time here last summer helping on a few projects, and I came out of that experience just blown away and impressed. First, this place is like the Yankees of school reform: the talent there is incredible. Even better, their theory of action is clear and effective: if you you believe that reform can happen in an urban district and you provide teachers with the strategic thinking, data, guidance and resources to close the achievement gap, then great change can happen. Luckily, it does! We will be hearing about this organization A LOT in the coming years....
