Who Is Making A Difference In The Schools

By investing in a range of projects and start-up portfolio programs, The Fund bets on bold and innovative ideas that meet our goals and strong management teams who can deliver results inside schools. We also bet on the principals and teachers making a difference in our schools every day
The Fund bets on bold and innovative ideas that meet our goals and strong management teams who can deliver results. The people behind our programs are education entrepreneurs, breaking new ground and testing new ideas. They are at the forefront of human capital innovations – recruiting, selecting, developing and supporting the best principals and teachers for our schools. Thanks to their efforts, Chicago is being recognized nationally as a leader in human capital for our schools.
The Fund's business is human capital, the principals and teachers making a difference in our schools every day. Research shows that the educators closest to students have the greatest effect on their learning. Investing in those people is the greatest lever we can pull to accelerate student achievement.

People who come to education through The Fund's programs have a high level of energy, discipline and commitment to excellence. They have all chosen to put themselves through some of the nation's most rigorous selection processes and training programs. They hold their students up to high standards, and hold themselves to even greater ones. They are our city's and our nation's top education professionals.
