Our Focus

At Achieve3000, we want our educational solutions, company philosophy, business practices, and roster of employees to reflect and support the culturally diverse communities and organizations we serve. That’s why CEO Stuart Udell has made diversity and inclusion a critical organizational focus.

“We need to challenge ourselves right now to do everything we can to be a more diverse, more inclusive, more socially responsible organization.”

- Stuart Udell, CEO, Achieve3000


Our Approach

Culturally Responsive Instruction

We understand the importance of culturally responsive instruction. Recently, we put together a free guide that shares insights and best practices from three of today’s most respected education thought leaders: Dr. Pedro Noguera, Dr. Gholdescar Muhammad, and Dwayne Reed.

Key topics include:

  • How to build better relationships with your students

  • Why cultivating literacy skills isn’t enough

  • How to break down the barriers to equity

Culturally Relevant Content

We are constantly auditing our content to ensure that our lessons reflect the voices of the students we serve. We have made significant progress in adding more culturally relevant content to our solutions, and we continue to seek new content that is relevant to diverse populations.

Culturally Relevant Content

"We all know one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to learning. Here at Achieve3000, we are dedicated to the inclusion of authentic voices from the broadest set of human stories, especially stories of students in the world."

- Kevin Baird, CAO, Achieve3000


Our Commitment

C.A.R.E. Committee

We have instituted a number of initiatives designed to promote diversity and inclusion through the C.A.R.E. Committee, which stands for Community Action for Respect and Equity. This employee-led committee was created to promote understanding, respect, equity, and access for the people we interact with and impact daily.

Mission

The Achieve3000 C.A.R.E Committee pledges to foster a diverse and inclusive working environment that promotes respect, equity, and access for all employees and partners.
