How We Work
Partnerships
We foster collaboration between school districts, researchers, industry partners, and community organizations.
Overview
True transformation in education requires an aligned ecosystem working toward shared goals. As the connective tissue across education, research, and technology, Digital Promise brings school districts, researchers, edtech developers, funders, and community organizations together as partners. Rather than working in isolation, we build cross-sector alliances that pool expertise, bridge divides, and turn promising research and technology into practical, classroom-tested solutions. By fostering deep, long-term relationships built on trust, we ensure that every partnership creates meaningful, sustainable outcomes for educators and learners.
How We Drive Collaborative Impact
Our partnership models create the conditions for ideas and evidence to move across sectors. Through Research-Practice-Innovation Partnerships (RPIPs), we bring district leaders, researchers, and technology developers into shared design spaces to co-create and field-test high-impact instructional solutions.
We also build cross-sector coalitions and district-funder alliances that connect local schools with community organizations, industry partners, and philanthropic leaders. By aligning strategic investments directly with district priorities, these ecosystem-building initiatives ensure that cross-sector resources drive sustainable, systemic change.
