Dimensions of Inclusive, Empowered Teams (IET)
We strive to build inclusive, empowered teams, recognizing that this is an ongoing effort. Fostering a culture of shared purpose and belonging allows us to do our best work and deepen our impact with state and school district partners, and with each other. These dimensions:
- Affirm our high-performance, learning culture: We believe the states and districts we work with deserve exceptional partnership. We foster a culture where feedback and learning from experience drive individual growth and collective impact.
- Reinforce our focus on effective collaboration: We believe team members are better able to contribute when information, guidance, and support are openly shared across the team.
- Foster recognition of teammates as individuals: We nurture connection by sharing what matters to us and recognizing the unique talents, perspectives, and identities of our colleagues. Team members can also deepen relationships by participating in affinity spaces.
Our Work is for All Students
We use a resource equity approach to make sure every student gets the right mix of research-backed resources—and extra support when they need it. Project highlights below illustrate how leaders can shift people, time, and money to create stronger student experiences and improved learning outcomes.
