Education

Every year, too many of our students leave school without the skills they need to succeed. Hope Street Group has committed to five principles of education reform, and has identified teacher effectiveness as our top priority in closing our achievement gaps and ensuring economic opportunity for all American children.

Hope Street Group’s Policy 2.0 web platform provides an engaging online workspace for reform-minded teachers and school leaders. Using this virtual work environment, these educators are working together to develop recommendations for policymakers that will be used to improve teacher evaluation systems.
