Become a Battelle for Kids' Progress Partner

Most business, government, community and education leaders agree that:

A sufficiently educated population is our country’s #1 economic engine.

Improving the quality of American education is critical to: Maximize our children’s future; acquire the best and most competitive workforce; and assure America’s competitiveness in our increasingly flat world.

Just as data is crucial to making the best business decisions and measuring success, having high quality data is critical to educational decision-making and measuring strengths and weaknesses in teaching and learning practices. “What gets measured usually gets monitored,
and what gets monitored usually gets improved.”

Every generation is responsible for preparing its youth to meet the challenges of the future.

There is hope for the future as more organizations are working together to support development and implementation of pragmatic, proactive school improvement efforts that accelerate student learning. Battelle for Kids works closely with education, business, community, political and philanthropic organizations on this national priority. We collaborate with education-related organizations to create and test new school improvement ideas, solve problems, accelerate proven programs and design quality products that enhance learning for all students.

As an independent, nonprofit organization, Battelle for Kids receives charitable contributions and government grants to support major education-related initiatives. Businesses, foundations, education service providers, political leaders and others help advance our mission by serving as Progress Partners. They support various Battelle for Kids’ school improvement initiatives, research and evaluation studies and ongoing R&D efforts to create new tools that improve teaching and learning. Organizations partner with Battelle for Kids because they know we are committed to the core of our name: For KIDS.
