About
The mission of the state collaborative on reforming education (score) is to catalyze transformative change in tennessee education so that ALL students CAN achieve success. Score is an independent, nonprofit, and nonpartisan institution, founded in 2009 by senator BILL frist, MD, former us senate majority leader. We work across the education continuum from kindergarten to career through policy, practice, and strategic partnerships. Score has three goals that guide our work: 1. ALL students receive an excellent public k-12 education. 2. ALL students EARN a credential or postsecondary degree that prepares them for a career enabling economic independence. 3. Economically disadvantaged students, students of color, and rural students see improved success across ALL goals relative to their peers. Score's theory of action is oriented around an iterative cycle of advancing change for students from kindergarten to career. Specifically, -we strive to be a durable partner and trusted advisor on tennessee education, focused on effectuating change through policy and practice and taking it to scale. -we identify challenges and potential solutions for students based on data and research, convene stakeholders, and link tennessee to national conversations. -we develop effective approaches by working directly with schools, districts, institutions, and employers to innovate and generate proof points. -we enable the scaling of promising solutions by advocating for student-focused policy and activating philanthropy, assistance, and investment. -we continue to use data and research to monitor progress, measure impact, and identify additional areas of need for students.
