Battelle for Kids is a national, not-for-profit organization committed to collaborating with school systems and communities to realize the power and promise of 21st century, deeper learning for every student. 

We help K-12 education leaders engage their community to re-envision and transform their school systems. We take a systems approach to promote enduring transformation of the system and equitable, deeper learning outcomes for every student.

Building on the school district's vision, the locally developed Portrait of a Graduate, this systems approach provides the cohesive alignment, necessary to bring the vision to life.

Our team of experienced educators, alongside communications, technology, and business professionals, partners with school systems to provide an educational experience that prepares all students to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to become lifelong learners and contributors in a rapidly changing world. Battelle for Kids’ approach involves the entire school community—educators in partnership with students, parents, businesses, and other community leaders—to ensure sustainable impact in schools.  

We are proud to have collaborated with state departments of education, urban, suburban, and rural school districts, and other education-focused organizations in more than 40 states.

Our services include Portrait of a Graduate design, strategic planning, professional learning, customized consulting, coaching, and professional learning networks, including EdLeader21.
