Goals

The Florida Education Foundation strives to foster meaningful business involvement in schools by:

• Providing resources for innovative and effective instruction and for scientifically based reading research;
• Increasing direct participation of the business community in Pre-K through 12th grade education;
• Increasing the number of successful local programs and projects dedicated to improving student achievement;
• Encouraging every student to be prepared to make informed, appropriate educational and vocational choices; and
• Promoting effective education practices.

Additionally, during 2011 the Foundation will direct efforts and resources toward

• Cultivating a future talent supply for Florida via the re-design and launch of the Sunshine State Scholars program; and
• Identifying and addressing the needs of struggling students--specifically,  those who fail to graduate-- via the Struggling Student Research Initiative.
