TAF Annual Reports

Transforming Education
Takes A Team

For 30 years, TAF has approached teaching as a team by partnering directly with public schools. We've learned that it takes all of us to ensure students are at the center of their education journey.

Here's what that looked like this year.

Every year, we pull back the curtain on what transforming public education actually looks like — the partnerships, the classrooms, the students who lead the way, and the numbers behind it all. Our annual report card is a snapshot of what's possible when teachers, families, and communities decide to go far together, not fast alone.

We've grown and changed over the years, but what remains at the center of our work is still the same:
students leading, communities showing up, and change that lasts.
