Early Learning
A quality Pre-K to second grade program is critical to our students’ educational journey. Dallas ISD’s Early Learning provides the foundation for a child’s future development and creates a lifelong love of learning. The Dallas Education Foundation works collaboratively with the district’s Early Learning department and provides grants funds to ensure our youngest students develop curiosity, gain self-confidence, and secure the foundational elements needed as they embark and continue on their educational journey.

LITERACY
Dallas ISD utilizes multipronged strategies to ensure our students are reading and writing at grade level, including library redesign efforts to cultivate a love of reading, the implementation of Reading Academies to drive long-term growth and close the achievement gap for Black and Latino students, and Summer Breeze -- a robust summer program with a strong focus on literacy instruction. The Dallas Education Foundation invests in programs that support these strategies to accelerate students through learning loss and to ensure all students have an opportunity to surpass their own expectations.
POST-SECONDARY SUCCESS
Dallas ISD is predicted to be the primary economic mobility engine for the city of Dallas within 10 years, and as such the Dallas Education Foundation’s investment in post-secondary success runs deep. Our commitment to the Career Institutes, P-TECH, and college-access programs creates opportunities for our students beyond high school. Together we prepare our graduates whether they choose to continue their education or immediately enter the workforce.
