The Technology Initiative takes a systematic approach to engage multiple partners in meaningful, measurable, and scalable programs grounded in research. It has a strong track record of building public/private partnerships that deeply engage partners based on the following shared values:

 

Leadership —as an intermediary we engage advocates from industry, government, higher education, K-12 schools, and the community to form leadership teams with the necessary breadth of resources, influence, and commitment to affect sustainable change.

 

Performance —we have a track record of success in the execution of well-articulated, research-based programs that produce real and sustainable results.

 

Quality —our programs receive independent evaluations to assess practices and results with an eye toward continuous improvement based on empirical data.

 

Scale —we understand that to affect broad-based change and social benefit, programs must provide solutions that scale regionally and are transportable to other regions, nationally.
