PARTNERSHIPS FOR CHANGE
For a generation, “common wisdom” held that organized teachers and organized communities have separate and irreconcilable agendas when it comes to public school reform.

These partnerships suggest that, when they focus on improving education for low-income children and children of color, organized teachers and organized parents can build trust and work productively together.
