Please join us and become part of a community committed to increasing achievement for urban children and youth, learning from one another and continuously improving. We believe there are educators out there who have figured out how to improve schools, particularly for students of color and those living in poverty, and it is our job to identify them, celebrate them, learn from them and broadly disseminate that knowledge. Although many would have us believe that excellence and equity do not coexist in urban education, our experience tells us differently. We have found schools in major cities across the U.S. that are helping all of their students achieve at high levels and reach their goals and aspirations. Through our work, we have learned that there is reason to be hopeful about urban education and we want to share that inspiration and knowledge!
Established in 2005, NCUST strives to help school districts and their partners transform schools into places where all students achieve academic proficiency, evidence a love of learning, and graduate well-prepared to succeed in post-secondary education, the workplace, and their communities.
