Partnering with educators to improve student achievement
and create high-performance schools
The
Ball Foundation Education Initiatives (EI) is a partner in school transformation.
The
Ball Foundation supports the development of high-performing schools in
which all children learn at high levels regardless of race, national origin,
socioeconomic status, native language and culture. Since 1999, the foundation
has focused on partnerships with mid-sized urban school districts that
share this vision and strive to transform themselves in order to reach
it.
The Ball Foundation Education Initiatives Value Proposition
The Ball Design: Sustaining Literacy Improvement for Every Student Through Whole Systems Change
| The Ball Design guides Education Initiatives (EI) as it partners with school districts to improve the literacy achievement of every student in significant and sustainable ways. Universal literacy achievement can be attained only when school districts become learning organizations capable of implementing results-oriented practices in every classroom and at all levels of the system. The Ball Design empowers EI to teach, model, and implement a whole systems change process that builds the capacity of school districts to become learning organizations that can constantly transform themselves to deliver results in the face of changing needs. Hence, the value proposition of The Ball Design, the unique and powerful added value that it offers to school districts, is “sustaining literacy improvement for every student through whole systems change." |
