K-12 Education Guidebooks
Saving America’s Urban Catholic Schools
by Stephanie Saroki and Christopher Levenick
If urban Catholic schools are to continue their mission of providing high-quality educational options for the families that need them most, they will need strategic philanthropic support from donors of all faiths.
Investing in Charter Schools: A Guide for Donors
by Public Impact
This guidebook offers donors—both new entrants and experienced veterans—the best ideas about the most effective ways they can support a high-quality charter school sector, both in their communities and across the country.
Achieving Teacher and Principal Excellence: A Guidebook for Donors
by Andrew J. Rotherham
Recent research has confirmed what many educators have long suspected: teachers matter more to student learning than anything else schools do. This guidebook provides philanthropists a solid grounding in the nature of the human capital challenge; it distills the best advice from pioneering donors in the field, while exploring the current landscape, most effective interventions, and opportunities for donors seeking to achieve an excellent teacher and principal for every child.
