Empower Schools partners with communities to help them get the schools they want with the results students need. We focus on powerful schools that have the flexibilities they need to effectively prepare students, and the educators with the skills to use those freedoms well. We work with policymakers and education system leaders to adopt open systems that allow for schools of all types, including both traditional district schools and schools led by proven and promising independent leaders. We capture and share the most promising practices to inform and shape the national conversation on education reform.
