CZI | How We Support Education

We build up research on student learning and human development, and its translation into classroom practice.

• We seek to identify, build and support teaching practices and school cultures that are grounded in whole child principles i.e. they center a student’s well-being in support of academic development and success.
• We seek to measure student well-being and the school environments that support it, so schools can track progress. That is, we’re trying to help educators understand what’s working in schools where students are thriving.

We build tools that help teachers center students’ well-being in support of academic achievement and success. 

• We use research on the science of student learning and human development to design tools that help teachers connect with students and tailor learning experiences to individual student needs.
• In partnership with educators at Gradient Learning, we support Summit Learning and Along, which are available for free to educators in the U.S.

We build partnerships to create momentum for systems change.

• We bring together students, teachers, researchers and communities who are reimagining education and advancing a whole child approach to education.
• We are focused on supporting innovation within school systems, student support and advocacy programs and community organizations.
