AS A NETWORK, WE LEVERAGE THE COLLECTIVE PASSIONS AND IDEAS OF HUNDREDS OF EDUCATORS, AND IN SO DOING, WE MOBILIZE RESOURCES THROUGH TARGETED INVESTMENTS AND COLLABORATION. RISE PARTNERS USE IMPROVEMENT SCIENCE PRINCIPLES AND METHODS TO PROMOTE DATA-DRIVEN INQUIRY AND INNOVATION IN RESPONSE TO SHARED, COMPLEX CHALLENGES.
