What We Do

Our Priorities in Arizona

Stand for Children believes strongly that every child deserves access to a quality public education regardless of zip code or economic status. We believe we have an opportunity right now to improve public schools for this generation and generations to come.

Our focus in Arizona is to:

• Support great teachers and principals to do their best work for students.
• Ensure an excellent teacher in every classroom and an excellent principal in every school.
• Set higher standards for our students and teachers and keep better track of performance.
• Turn around persistently underperforming schools.
• Achieve a stable level of funding for Arizona schools so they have the resources they need to help all kids succeed.

We show up. We speak up. We reach out. We vote.

Our work is shaped by our organizational values: results for all children, bold independence, empowering, entrepreneurial leadership, being the change we seek, and direct and respectful communication. Learn more about our values, vision, and history.
