WorkForce Central
We convened 1,000+ partners to address a new decade of our work.
Improving outcomes for students would be much more difficult without dedicated partners like you who continue to show up and do the work. We are practitioners, advocates, legislators, funders, and community leaders working together to strategize and innovate lasting impact. Our time together helps build shared understanding of what’s needed to close achievement gaps and address educational inequities.
