Partnership for Learning collaborates with many organizations in order to accomplish its goals. By learning from other states, tracking national trends and having access to the most timely and reliable information and analysis, we speak and act with authority on Washington education policy issues.

Local Partners

Led by Partnership for Learning, the League of Education Voters and Stand for Children, the Excellent Schools Now coalition includes more than 30 Washington education, business and community-based organizations. The coalition works to achieve meaningful education reform at the state and local level that increases student achievement, closes the achievement gap and prepares students to be college and career-ready.

The College & Work Ready Agenda mobilizes businesses and business organizations across the state to advocate for high-quality learning opportunities for all Washington’s children—from birth through high school and from college into career.

A diverse group of over 30 Seattle-based organizations and community leaders came together in March 2010 to form the Our Schools Coalition.
