Reformers Academy Core Values:
Invested in People First
We believe transformative change occurs when talented and strategic policy practitioners (inside and outside of government) drive it. Thats why were in the talent development business. We enjoy helping people find rewarding policy careers where they can make a difference in the most important policy frontiers of our time.
PartnershipFocused
Reformers Academy is movementminded meaning we seek to broaden and strengthen the pool of talent available to serve in key government roles (at the state and federal levels) and aligned reform organizations such as think tanks and advocacy groups. We recognize that when we develop talent well and guide someone into an education or health policy career it is as beneficial to the movement they are entering as it is to the person him/herself. As such we work daily to find ways that we can support and not compete with likeminded partners.
Intent on Continuous Improvement and Challenging the Status Quo
We are unashamed to say that our healthcare and education systems are routinely failing the very people they are supposed to support. Most students in America do not read or write on grade level. In recent years in many places student learning has regressed or shown no improvement. In health care costs continue to rise dramatically as government intervention in healthcare increases and too many patients lack timely access to highquality healthcare. Things arent working well and must get better. Both the healthcare and education systems are dominated by legacy structures and players that do not easily innovate and are generally resistant to being held accountable for student or patient outcomes.
At Reformers Academy we view the existing power structures in the healthcare and education systems with skepticism and encourage participants to be disruptive thinkers challenging current norms and envisioning better paths forward. Together education and healthcare spending accounts for the lions share of statelevel budgets. Healthcare costs consume an everlarger share of family budgets as well. Taxpayers have a right to expect better results for the money being invested in these arenas.
As an organization we are also introspective regularly refining our methods and programming to continually improve and deliver the best possible outcomes for the people and organizations we support and serve.
PracticeOriented
Our aim is to educate changemakers who can skillfully operate and navigate the realities of the American political system and government structures. Our instruction merges theory history and practice to ensure our fellows graduate with the knowledge and skills they need to be effective advocates and public servants.
We also dont tell our participants what to think; instead we provide a firm policy foundation underneath their feet which gives them the knowledge and confidence to think more creatively innovate and more effectively drive change.
