This year, a 100Kin10 Project Team developed a tool to help capacity-building organizations better understand the environments of the districts or schools they’ll be working with in order to create and encourage experiences that teachers can truly benefit from. If you’re planning to provide professional learning in the next school year, this Project Team, test the tool in your unique context!

In advance of the 2020 election cycle, 100Kin10 wants to hear which education issues matter most to you and your organization. Sign up to join a conversation this summer and share your recommendations and feedback on which policies or solutions are most important to you!

We are getting ready to welcome the last class of new 100Kin10 partners before 2021, and are so grateful for those of you who played a critical part in this process by nominating prospective partners and/or reviewing applications. Now, sign up to help show new partners what the network is all about once they come onboard this fall!

The Robin Hood Learning + Technology Fund (the Fund) is a joint effort of Robin Hood, the Overdeck Family Foundation and Siegel Family Endowment to unlock the potential of technology to transform learning and advance achievement for low-income students in New York City. In service of this, the Fund is exploring integrating computational thinking into the school curriculum to drive learning outcomes in high-poverty elementary schools and is actively seeking partners to engage in this work.

In a unique opportunity open only to 100Kin10 partners, The Fund seeks proposals for up to $500,000 in funding to work with one or more high-poverty elementary schools in New York City to integrate computational thinking into a core subject area, such as math, literacy, science or social studies, and to grow the capacity of teachers to support computational thinking in the classroom.  

Please note that 100Kin10 is not involved in the review of proposals.

The Integrating Professional Growth into the School Day Project Team is seeking input on innovative and creative ways to embed professional growth for K-12 STEM teachers into the school day. Please take this survey if you have an example of job-embedded professional growth, including examples of best-practices outside the STEM fields, that you have designed, led, or participated in.

As part of our final pre-2021 round of new partner growth, current 100Kin10 partners can help to shape the future of the network by serving as a partner vetter during the applicant review period this summer.

We often hear from partners that reviewing applications is a highlight of their year in the network and gives them valuable insight into the field at large and the work of new organizations! Register today to review a handful of applications in June.
