Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

Data inquiry and school-based data support - the foundation has initiated efforts to improve the data culture and human capital in boston through inquiry facilitation, leadership coaching, network sessions, data tool development, and dissemination of lessons learned. The foundation helps schools by providing user-friendly data tools, as well as support for teams of educators to use data to adjust instruction and select interventions. Data teams use data related to a school's goals to create accessible, color-rich spreadsheets, charts, graphs, and presentations that help schools match instruction and interventions to student needs, track student progress, uncover patterns of student underperformance, and test the effectiveness of interventions. The program contributed to the following accomplishments: improvement in boston's graduation rate, knowledge about the right indicators to track, a model for collaborative teacher learning (called inquiry) that can be used district-wide, a strategic approach to school data support, an inquiry toolkit, and a portfolio of data tools that can be used by schools in boston and across the country.

Activity 3

The foundation serves as a fiscal agent for various programs housed at bps and for other partners. For those assets to which the foundation has variance power (unilateral power to redirect the use of transferred assets to another beneficiary) and ultimate responsibility for program compliance, the related activity is recorded as a foundation program.
