What does a highly e�ective partnership mean?

The partnership with FuelEd allows the teachers to do what they do best: teach. Knoche explains, “We are not taxing our teachers with things they’re not trained or

capable of doing. We don’t build curriculum; our teachers are here to support families. They’re not

trained to be instructional designers.”

In choosing partnerships for scale, it is important to choose providers who customize options to �t the school

and can grow those options over time.

Knoche explains the balance of roles this way, “I get to spend a much bigger portion of my day focusing on climate and culture of school. FuelEd takes care of

instructional things. And great teachers really make this happen. It’s a good balance.”

“We wondered, ‘How do we do this?’ There was no road map for us.”
