National Education Association Foundation
The NEA Foundation, through the unique strength of its partnership with educators, advances student achievement by investing in public education that will prepare each of America's children to learn and thrive in a rapidly changing world.
In addition to providing recommendations on the Foundation’s overall communications and knowledge management strategy, Collaborative supports the National Education Association Foundation primarily through its Closing the Achievement Gaps Initiative. Since 2008, Collaborative has helped to design, facilitate and document the initiative’s annual convening that brings together school- and system-level practitioners, union leaders, and community-based leaders to work towards closing the achievement gap.
In 2009, Collaborative led the content creation and faciltiation of the advisory committee that oversaw the production of initiative’s publication that called for new and strategic roles for teachers unions in the creation and implementation of human capital management systems.
