Together, we collaborate to support educators and prepare students to live, work, and thrive in a complex, multicultural, multilingual, and highly connected world. Our work spans a broad range of areas, from teacher residencies and workforce development to labor-management partnerships, family and community engagement, STEAM initiatives, and AI in education.

The Californians Dedicated to Education Foundation is committed to fundamental systemic change that supports all children, teachers, administrators, and anyone on their journey to achievement and well-being, regardless of race, class, gender identity, sexual orientation, immigration status, ability, religion, or ethnicity.
