What We Do
At United to Learn we address opportunity gaps with research-driven, district-aligned programming across 75 Dallas ISD elementary schools. Each initiative is rooted in one of our four pillars: strengthening social and emotional health; creating aspirational learning environments; accelerating student achievement in literacy; and activating an informed community.
Our Approach
Through programming, volunteering, and consulting, we connect schools with the specific resources they need. We are here to listen, to understand, and to work together to provide solutions.
We cultivate thriving campuses that have stronger student achievement, stronger teacher effectiveness and healthier students.
By mobilizing volunteers from public and private high schools, faith based organizations, and businesses, we unite community members to work with Dallas ISD elementary schools. Together we build an informed community that is empowered to advocate for equitable educational opportunities for all students, and we operate with the understanding that each campus’ vision for student achievement is unique. That’s why we remain nimble, collaborating with district and campus leadership to roll out initiatives focused on four, evidence based pillars.
Our Four Pillars
These are the four main avenues by which we operate and affect real change in our area schools.
Community Activation
Equipping communities to advocate for educational equity from a culturally competent perspective
