Transform ED ED ED
We are the arm of TAF that implements our STEMbyTAF learning model on the ground, in our partner schools, by working directly with teachers.
With the help of a STEMbyTAF coach, teachers at our partner schools are equipped to help students succeed beyond the classroom.
TransformED students don't just solely focus on meeting standards, teacher expectations, or competing in the workforce post-graduation, our graduates actively contribute to making the world they envision – because they’ve already done it at school!
Imagine your child went
to a public school that:
- Uses interdisciplinary learning to solve community-centered problems
- Puts equitable education at the forefront of all lessons
- Brings real world, applicable skills into the classroom
Imagine the public school
you taught at was known for:
- Encouraging innovation
- Delivering curriculum that is relevant to the real-world
- Creating an environment that promotes academic success through a social justice lens.
Through TransformED district partnerships, public schools like this exist.
Why TransformED?
What makes us unique? Our working partnerships. TAF prioritizes getting to know the district, schools, and community, while hiring staff from within that same community. We build relationships with local businesses and organizations, ensuring students are exposed to a variety of careers and understand how they can directly improve their community through their schoolwork.
