Nonprofits are essential to the fabric of many urban school systems. Historically, nonprofits have been a great source of innovation in public education systems. Today, nonprofits continue to originate innovative practices that are applied in schools, and they also partner with other innovators, including EdTech companies. For some EdTech companies, nonprofits have been integral to their growth strategies.
We will hear from a panel of innovative nonprofits that have partnered with EdTech companies:
kecia Hayes, TC REACH
