Stand for Children’s mission is to ensure that all children, regardless of their background, graduate from high school prepared for, and with access to, a college education. With members in more than 100 communities across Massachusetts who prioritize child advocacy in school reform efforts, our ultimate goal is to ensure that every child has access to a quality education and an equitable chance to succeed in life.
Great teachers generate brighter futures for students in Massachusetts. In fact, the quality of a child’s teacher is the most significant in-school factor to a child’s success. To ensure every child has access to quality education and improve public schools in Massachusetts, we must first ensure that every teacher is in the classroom based not solely on their seniority, but on their ability to generate better student outcomes.
