AFT Innovation Fund
The AFT Innovation Fund is a groundbreaking plan to seek and share successful local educator- and union-led reform efforts in public schools across the United States. This initiative is based on the AFT’s extensive experience with successful reform ideas developed and nurtured in classrooms—by the educators who work with students every day. Simply put, the AFT is leveraging “top-down” support for “bottom-up” reforms by harnessing the strengths, experience and know-how of our teachers and the unions that support them.
