Thank You
The development of the Future Ready Pathways Toolkit would not have been possible without the generous support and shared vision of our supporters. We extend our sincere gratitude for the financial support provided primarily by Google.org, with additional support from The Enfranchisement Foundation.
Internally, we acknowledge Dr. Amy Loyd, CEO of All4Ed, and her leadership and commitment to expanding equitable, high-quality pathways for all students, and Thomas C. Murray for being the lead author on this project. We also acknowledge the vast policy work our teammates at All4Ed have done over the years in each of these areas, and are proud to build upon their Federal and State-level work to bring practical strategies and tools directly to school and district leaders.
We also want to thank the many school and district leaders who devoted their time, provided valuable feedback, offered practical ideas and constructive suggestions, and allowed us to spotlight and learn from their outstanding work.
