Core Values
Critical is the creation of an expectation in the minds of policy makers and program planners that children living in poverty can and will succeed – with the right supports. It is to these ends, that we believe our innovative results-driven approach is driving the Center’s core values:
- Closing the achievement gap must be undergirded by aims that foster active engagement of various sectors and stakeholders to increase awareness, to concentrate resources and impact policy making.
- Closing the achievement gap requires an organizational strategy that provides a bold framework for continuing to impact educational development and academic enrichment for children and families living in poverty.
- Closing the achievement gap requires local and regional policies and programming that are responsive and support education advocacy for children living in poverty. To hold educators alone accountable for addressing the causes of lower performance within the target population, in isolation of the family structure, creates an impossible task.
