The Tower Foundation seeks to facilitate improvement in the academic outcomes of youths, pre-kindergarten through grade 8, in ways that will lead to academic success and enhanced opportunities later in life.
The Tower Foundation aims to accomplish this goal by providing financial support for implementation of programs and services that have proven to be successful. This initiative is targeted toward the implementation or expansion of data-driven instruction in grades K-8.
Data-driven instruction refers to the practice of using student outcomes on various measures to plan curriculum and instruction. Educators use data to plan diverse instructional strategies in response to the differences in how students think and learn.
