  Collective impact

Maximizing human capital AND social capital

In the context of schools, human capital is an educator’s cumulative abilities, knowledge, and skills developed through formal education and on-the-job experience.

—Carrie R. Leana, Stanford Social Innovation Review, Fall 2011

Social capital, by comparison, is not a characteristic of the individual educator but instead resides in the relationships among educators.

“Real, lasting school reform is always incremental and time-consuming, because the actual work of schools—teaching and learning—is painstaking.

Lasting reform will always be laborious, step-by-step work.”

—Nancy Flanagan, blogger and education writer.
