Overview
Big Picture redesigns education in the United States by generating and sustaining innovative, personalized learning environments; it has partnered with the Internationals Network for Public Schools, which provides quality education for recently arrived immigrants. Together they have established a Deeper Learning Equity Fellows community; this grant will expand the program evaluation, and enable greater Fellow participation in the annual grantee meeting. 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.

Grants to this Grantee
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 (Strategy: K12 Teaching and Learning).
for support of a national education fellowship initiative
Big Picture Learning is a national nonprofit dedicated to supporting and sustaining personalized learning. In addition to operating schools, it recruits adults to serve as leaders of equitable opportunities and outcomes in their schools and communities. This grant supports Big Picture in finding and developing cohorts of leaders in education and youth development. These leaders will be tasked with bridging the divide between education opportunity and student learning outcomes in the communities where they live and work. (Substrategy: Educator Capacity)
