The Story of the Bright Initiative

 

Bright grew out of breakthrough research which examined what separates high-performing, high-poverty schools from low-performing,
high-poverty schools. From there we have graduated two cohorts of exceptional leaders with more than half still in the field long after their 3-year commitment.

 

Now we prepare to launch our 3rd cohort of transformational leaders to improve outcomes for kids in Ohio.
