CSC Mission & Strategies
The Center for School Change is a program of the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota. The Center works with educators, parents, business people, students, policy-makers and other concerned people throughout the United States to:

  • Increase student achievement.

  • Raise graduation rates.

  • Improve student attitudes toward learning, their schools, and their communities.

  • Strengthen communities through building stronger working relationships among educators, parents, students and other community members.

To reach these goals, we use three basic strategies. These strategies are intended to reinforce each other:

Funding for the Center has come from the Cargill, Gates, Annenberg, Blandin, General Mills, St. Paul, Peters, Minneapolis, TCF, Joyce, Bradley and Rockefeller Foundations, the U.S. Department of Education, the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota Initiative Funds.
