Project details
What we need
- Boilerplate descriptions of Organization or program (50-, 100-, and 200- word versions)
- List of keywords to use & words to avoid when writing about Organization or program
What we have in place
- We currently have a menu of services with descriptive language, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have handbooks of our services that offer detailed language, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,002 , allowing us to work more closely with school district stakeholders - teachers, students, and families - to center their voices and their experiences in our work.
This project is important because it will help us better communicate to County Offices of Education, School District leadership, and school leadership the services we offer to help them ensure that their policies and practices equitably serve our most marginalized students and their families.

Our mission
The Education Trust--West works for the high academic achievement of all students at all levels, pre-k through college. We expose opportunity and achievement gaps that separate students of color and low-income students from other youth, and we identify and advocate for the strategies that will forever close those gaps.
What we do
We identify and analyze data related to the opportunity and achievement gaps separating students of color and low-income students from other California students.
We work to expose these gaps and their underlying causes.
We translate complex education data into easily understood and actionable information for education advocates.
We work directly with schools and districts to understand and evaluate the effectiveness of reform strategies intended to reduce and eliminate achievement and opportunity gaps.
We seek real world examples supported by evidence at the district, school, and classroom levels, and we explore ways in which success can be replicated at a scale.
We seek to influence policy in California by engaging key education stakeholders, including policymakers, thought leaders, practitioners, community groups, civic organizations, parents, and youth.
Our goal is to drive a state and national conversation about how our education system can better serve all students.
