Overview
Big Picture Learning (BPL) is a national not-for-profit organization dedicated to transforming education through student-driven, real-world learning. Its vision is that all students live happy and successful lives of their own design — in their education, careers, and civic experiences. The organization brings this vision to life both through direct work in schools and by operating a national and international network for developing leaders who serve as champions for systemic improvement and equitable student access to rich and effective learning environments. This grant will support BPL’s third Ashé Leaders Fellowship cohort, equipping community leaders to drive locally developed, sustainable change efforts that transform educational experiences and outcomes for youth.

for support of educator leadership development
Big Picture Learning is a nonprofit organization with an extensive history of improving student opportunities and outcomes by developing and supporting adult leaders. Since 2016, through the Deeper Learning Equity Fellowship, Big Picture Learning has successfully supported four cohorts of a dozen or more diverse, equity-focused, empowered leaders of change. This grant enables Big Picture to provide fellows with the tools and experiences they need to expand their leadership and influence in the public-school sector, enabling them to advance more equitable opportunities for those students least served by the existing system.
