Guided by a vision for equity that honors every child’s right to a high-quality education, Need in Deed offers a transformative approach to teaching and learning in Philadelphia’s public school classrooms grades 3-8. Our approach engages students in learning that makes connections between the world they see around them and the skills and concepts of the school curriculum; supports classroom educators in using effective teaching strategies; and brings the city’s professionals and practitioners into the classroom experience.
We envision an equitable public education that honors every child’s right to a high-quality education, acknowledges every child’s potential, dismantles racist and oppressive systems, prioritizes social-emotional well-being, and puts students at the center of the learning experience.We envision an equitable public education that honors every child’s right to a high-quality education, acknowledges every child’s potential, dismantles racist and oppressive systems, prioritizes social-emotional well-being, and puts students at the center of the learning experience.
