Great Futures Colorado

Great Futures Colorado believes that there is no silver bullet in education reform. No one change alone – small schools, early childhood education, increased funding, high-stakes testing – will sufficiently improve the educational outcomes for all America’s students, especially for those with whom we have historically failed. For this reason, Prepare the Future is committed to significant, systemic, and comprehensive change in the present system of public education. The implementation of these changes will look different in every district, but no element of this agenda can be left out if we truly want all America’s children to succeed. The Education Agenda of Prepare The Future consists of the following elements:

--The belief that all children can learn to high standards;
--Reliance on effective, evidence-based instructional strategies and management/governance practices;
--A results-based accountability system for students, parents, educators, and the public; and
--Adequate resources, fairly raised and distributed.
