We celebrate ideas that recognize the potential of each child and work to create an academic organization that serves all students well.

Actions Speak Louder
We’re an organization of thoughtful and intentional action. Education won’t be better until we all do better. The time to act is now, and the responsibility is ours.

Big Dreams & Bold Ideas
Oklahoma needs bold thinking fueled by the optimism that we can revolutionize both our schools and our students' outcomes.

Win Together
Education is not a partisan issue. Together we can achieve high standards and accountability, which will lead to a quality education for all, the ultimate win-win for Oklahoma.
