A mission and vision focused on student success and better schools
Equity
Businesses believe that every student - no matter their gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, income, or ability - deserves equitable access to resources and opportunities to ensure that they can reach their full educational potential.
High Standards & Accountability
Businesses believe that students do their best when all stakeholders – including parents, educators, state and local leaders, labor, and management – are held accountable for students achieving high standards.
Support
Businesses believe that students deserve teachers and educators who are fully committed to student success and that students benefit when their teachers have access to high-quality training and professional development.
Innovation & Modernization
Businesses believe that students learn in different ways and that we need to push past the status quo to create opportunities for innovation and modernization in curriculum, approach, and infrastructure.
Workforce Readiness
Businesses believe that every student should graduate with the skills, knowledge, and credentials that are necessary for success in college or a career, recognizing that most jobs being created in Rhode Island require more than a high school diploma.
