Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
Education Resource Strategies (ERS) is a national nonprofit that partners with district, school, and state leaders to transform how they use resources (people, time, and money). They help create enabling conditions for transformation in state and local policy contexts and spread their work through lessons, tools, networks, and professional learning. ERS starts with an analysis of existing strategy and resource allocation in school systems mapped against best practices. They then help their partners reallocate resources to support high-leverage improvement strategies. (Substrategy: District Deep Dives and Networks)
