Our Work

Advocating in Partnership

Minnesota Policy and Systems Change

Our core work is advocating for equitable, student-centered learning. We partner closely with those doing the work and those whose voices have traditionally been underrepresented.

Together we push for policies that clear barriers, scale what works, and create opportunities for communities to lead change.

Annual Community Convening

Student-Centered Learning for Equity

Each spring, we co-create with our community the region’s largest conference focused on equitable, student-centered learning.

Hundreds of students, educators, and community leaders gather to share inspiration, lessons learned, and specific best practices.

Our National Program

Teacher-Powered Schools

We support school teams to develop collaborative leadership practices, reimagine educator roles, and share power among their students, families, and community.

This program has expanded both nationally and in Minnesota, as interest in distributed school leadership and shared power has grown.
