Overview
New Tech Network is a national school design organization hired by K-12 public districts and charter organizations to help start and sustain deeper learning schools that are based on the New Tech school model. This organizational effectiveness grant supports their internal work to deepen awareness, knowledge, skill, and capacity about educational equity. Helping our grantees become more aware, prepared and competent around internal issues of equity will ensure that their field-focused work - and the field of education more broadly - reflects the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Grants to this Grantee

for support of a network of Bay Area schools to learn how to scale up promising innovations
New Technology Network, LLC supports schools and school districts to ensure all students gain the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in college, career, and civic life. New Tech Network will implement collaborative cohorts of California schools that focus on improving student outcomes in the areas of the use of performance assessment and the education of English Language Learners. Through attention and leadership, this project will ensure that deeper learning outcomes are fostered and provided to all students (especially from communities of poverty and English Language Learners), a key aspiration of the field.
for identifying, cultivating, and showcasing exemplary schools to advance deeper learning
Over the past three years, the Program provided project support to the Deeper Learning Network (DLN), a "network of networks" consisting of ten school reform models totaling some 500 public schools across the country. The DLN has helped make the case for the viability of deeper learning, offering examples of it in action and providing locations for site visits by policymakers. We will provide "tie off" grants to the DLN in order to refocus our funding on research that addresses policy reform needs, development of new assessments of the harder-to-measure deeper learning competencies, and capacity building for educators to understand and make use of student achievement evidence.
