What We Do
Our focus is on equipping students, educators, advocates and policymakers with the resources and support to influence education policy in Tennessee. By mobilizing communities across the state, we amplify collective power to better influence and inform the policy decisions being made on behalf of students from low-income backgrounds, of color, with disabilities, in rural areas, and English learners, regardless of citizenship status. Together, by equipping communities with data and research, we seek to improve achievement and expand opportunities for underrepresented students in Tennessee.
