Overview
Big Picture redesigns education in the United States by generating and sustaining innovative, personalized learning environments; it would partner with the Internationals Network for Public Schools, which provides quality education for recently arrived immigrants. Together they would establish a Deeper Learning Equity Fellows community that will build a cohort of practitioners focused on developing policies, programs, and practices that assure deeper learning opportunities for all young people, especially those traditionally underserved. In bellwether communities, this project would draw attention and leadership to ensuring that deeper learning outcomes are fostered and provided to all students, a key aspiration of the field.

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.
