We look for programs that monitor and demonstrate ongoing effectiveness by assessing improvements in academic achievement, instructional quality, and student experience, particularly the classroom conditions that support academic engagement. The Foundation encourages proposals that include efforts to enhance the quality of programs. These efforts might include incorporating new program elements, professional development for program staff, or the development of evaluation tools, among others.

Actively identify challenges that can be addressed through the Foundation's grantmaking, and opportunities that have the potential to advance program goals
Write about complex issues and concepts in education in clear, accessible, and jargon-free language for lay audiences. Writing, in general, and this type of writing specifically, is a major responsibility of this role.
Partner with grantees to support collaborative work, and help organizations advance knowledge and practice in the field
