BREAKTHROUGH COLLABORATIVE
http://www.breakthroughcollaborative.org “The Breakthrough formula is simple. Take a community
that believes in children, add young people who will give their time to
change the world, and throw in a delightful combination of kids at the most
vulnerable time of their lives - middle school. And then, set deliriously
high expectations for everyone involved - for the community to give more
than seemed possible, for the teachers to work harder than was dreamed
necessary, and for the kids to learn more than seemed available. It works.
It’s wonderful. It’s Breakthrough.” Our Vision At the Breakthrough Collaborative, we envision a day when all children will have equal access to excellent educational opportunities and enthusiastic teachers committed to students' educational success. Core Values Breakthrough believes in the power of education to radically change young peoples’ lives. We believe the middle school years are the critical crossroads where students make choices that will dramatically affect their futures. We are passionate in our belief that every child deserves access to an excellent education and the encouragement to succeed. Breakthrough celebrates excellence and abhors mediocrity. The spirit of celebration is energetic, enthusiastic, and contagious. Young people who would ordinarily downplay their interest in academics discover that not only is it “cool to be smart,” but that learning is fun. What Makes Breakthrough Special Breakthrough is unique in that it has a dual mission:
improving the educational trajectory of underserved middle school students
and inspiring young people to enter the field of education. Breakthrough’s
success is due to a unique combination of elements that result in an
exciting and energetic educational experience:
