Founded in 1993, this organization seeks to improve community schools through grassroots efforts. Based in Washington D.C., it advocates for reform and accountable standards.
Articles are available on a variety of topics including School Choice, Curriculum, School Standards, and the ABCs of Teaching.
For parents there are resources through a monthly newsletter and a link to Parent Power, a sub-site of the organization providing information of interest to parents regarding the future of the American education system and how they can work to support its improvement.
There are also Fast Facts and Resources. The Fast Facts are national reports on a variety of areas of the education system, including expenditures per child by state and student-teacher ratios. Whereas publications and local organizations indexed by state are included in the Resources section.
