Founded in 2007, the Partnership is driven by our mission to transform schools to revolutionize school systems, empowering all students with a high-quality education. We seek to dramatically accelerate student achievement by managing and building capacity in 20 of the highest-need schools within the Los Angeles Unified School District. Our network of schools, grades K-12 public schools, is concentrated in the communities of Watts, South LA and Boyle Heights. The Partnership school transformation model integrates three components: Great Leaders offers our 20 school principals and all assistant principals professional development, leadership guidance and coaching that equips them to establish a shared school vision with robust systems; Highly-Effective Teaching provides our teacher leaders with integrated professional learning and coaching that promotes strong classroom instruction and peer support; and Engaged & Empowered Communities leverages our partnerships with more than 100 community organizations, and empowers families annually to become the best advocates for their children through our Parent College program.
