The Future of Norwalk Schools Progress is being made in Norwalk.
The adoption of the Common Core State Standards will enhance
instruction and provide a more competitive platform for
achievement. NEF will continue to raise funds to suppor t the
implementation of the Common Core State Standards and assure that
teachers are prepared to bring this approach to their students.
What Can Norwalk do to Transform Education?A successful school
district depends on all of us.
High-performing public schools are essential for our children to
flourish. Preparing them for college and career is our number one
priority. It is critical for their future and for the future of
Norwalk. NEF believes that systemic, sustainable change can best be
achieved when the entire community - businesses, parents,
educators, support organizations, and local policy makers - work
together in partnership with the school system.
What is the Norwalk Education Foundation? Norwalk Education
Foundation creates opportunities for educational innovation and
excellence by:
• Piloting innovative educational programs in the schools•
Supporting teacher quality• Engaging the community about
education
• Creating business partnerships to support education
Background The Norwalk Education Foundation (NEF) has been
providing funding for educational initiatives for 15 years. Star
ted by a group of parents who wanted to bring in corporate dollars
to help the schools, NEF was formed as a 501(c)3 charity so
donations could be tax exempt.
Over the years, NEF has transformed into a foundation whose
focus is on educational excellence, teacher quality and suppor ting
educational initiatives to improve achievement for all
students.
Our work also includes collaborations with community par
tnerships. These groups bring together representatives from local
nonprofits whose mission is to effect purposeful change for Norwalk
children.
