About this organization
Mission
The Education Trust is a nonprofit organization that promotes closing opportunity gaps by expanding excellence and equity in education for students of color and those from low-income families from pre-kindergarten through college. Through research and advocacy, the organization builds and engages diverse communities that care about education equity, increases political and public will to act on equity issues, and increases college access and completion for historically underserved students.
About
Our program and policy teams conduct research and analyze educational practices, pre-k through college. Their work aims to deepen our understanding of the factors that contribute to achievement gaps, learn from and extend the best work in the field, and develop positions and supporting evidence to advance the organization's strategic agenda. More specifically, the work focuses on advancing the quality of teaching, ensuring accountability and support for schools and colleges, monitoring achievement patterns in prek-12 and higher education, and fostering best practices to help schools align their curricula with state standards.
