Children's Literacy Initiative works with pre-kindergarten through third grade teachers to transform instruction so that children can become powerful readers, writers and thinkers. CLI's focus on improving literacy instruction in the early grades is grounded in research: we know that reading proficiently by the end of third grade is key for future success, and that teaching quality has a greater effect on student achievement than any other in-school factor. In partnership with teachers, principals, and district leaders, CLI provides educators with training and coaching in the most effective practices for early literacy instruction, extends these services with online professional development resources, and stocks classrooms with learning materials and collections of high-quality children’s literature. To support sustainable change in under-resourced and underperforming schools, we establish CLI Model Classrooms™, concrete examples of expert literacy instruction in action. Model Classrooms are eye-openers: by showing what is possible in a real classroom, it raises teachers' expectations for their students and for themselves.

Global Partners for Development's core belief is that people can achieve the greatest success when they are recognized as capable, responsible, and committed. Partnership is the key to our work. Working closely with grassroots African leaders, Global Partners supports communities that have the drive and initiative to tackle the basic problems of chronic hunger and poverty, but lack access to training and outside resources. Our aim is not to just fix things today, but to help craft solutions that bring self-reliance and positive change for future generations. From the beginning, Global Partners has worked in direct partnership with African community leaders and organizations. Together, we take to the next level the adage, ?It?s better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.? Once a person learns to fish, their obligation is to teach someone else. This is the spirit of Global Partners in action. We work with village and organization leaders that want not only to improve their own lives, but also to create educated, healthy communities and thriving economies to spread benefits worldwide.
