The Trust for Learning created a targeted fund to catalyze innovations that create or expand equitable, high-quality education development pathways. As a Trust for Learning philanthropic partner, the Brady Education Foundation contributed to this streamlined, collaborative fund which supports creative COVID-19 era projects led by early learning providers, training organizations, institutions of higher education, and other grantees to move the needle on one or more of the following objectives:
- Expand high-quality models of educator development by reducing barriers to participation for low-income educators and educators of color
- Create on-ramps to degree and credential pathways by strengthening articulation between educator development experiences and institutions of higher education
- Integrate anti-bias, anti-racist training into educator training curricula and materials
- Influence policy or regulatory mechanisms to better align high-quality educator models with state license or credentialing requirements
