The professionals at IDEA Foundation, who come from diverse backgrounds in the field of education, recognize that student needs must always be at the forefront of planning. The array of tools, materials, and resources available through IDEA’s programs have been carefully developed with the needs of at-risk students in mind. They are reviewed and updated as needed on a regular basis according to the systems each program has for evaluating and reporting the data for student engagement and success.
