The Foundation supports innovative professional development programs that identify and nurture the qualities of great teachers. All schools need exceptional individuals with the skill, the enthusiasm and the personal commitment to help children achieve academic success. We support professional development programs that stress the importance of curriculum and its relationship to standards and allow teachers to master relevant and specialized content, deliver it effectively, and develop management skills within the classroom and leadership positions within the school.
