Network Strategy
In addition to the direct support we provide to entrepreneurs, NewSchools plays an important role in translating and connecting that work to the broader landscape of public education reform. By connecting people and sharing knowledge – both within our portfolio and with other stakeholders – NewSchools helps to accelerate the pace of systems change for underserved students in public schools.
We do this through the following initiatives:
- Learning Communities: To empower and connect our education entrepreneurs with each other, NewSchools regularly convenes these practitioners in person and hosts an online platform that allows them to build relationships and share knowledge, best practices and tools.
- Knowledge Development: By capturing, codifying and disseminating the lessons learned by NewSchools in its work with entrepreneurs, we hope to inform effective educational practice within and beyond our portfolio of ventures.
- NewSchools Summit: NewSchools hosts an annual invitation-only event for leaders from business, education, policy, and nonprofit sectors to come together to explore and share strategies for building high-achieving, performance-driven systems of public schools.
