Educator Campaign Quick Summary

The Latino Initiative

Educators shape the future of humanity, providing students with the academic and social skills that they will need as future citizens and professionals.  The Educator Campaign will help educators to acquire the skills and resources that they need to fulfill this monumental task.

The Educator Campaign will encourage and/or create cost-free solutions such as volunteer assistant teachers, educator trainings, and fundraising efforts that will improve the education experiences of every student in participating schools.  The specific aims of the Educator Campaign are to:

• Train educators to close the achievement gap experienced by minority and low-income students;
• Train educators on how to motivate minority and low-income students;
• Increase educators’ awareness of resources to help the minority and low-income student population;
• Increase awareness among educators of volunteer systems that can help in educational tasks;
• Expand programs in schools that are successfully addressing the needs of students; and
• Develop additional programs in schools that address any unmet needs of minority and low-income students as such needs are identified.
