Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

AT BLUEPRINT, WE BELIEVE ALL STUDENTS DESERVE A QUALITY MATH EDUCATION. OUR MISSION IS TO PROMOTE EDUCATIONAL EQUITY AND IMPROVE LIFE OUTCOMES FOR STUDENTS.

  • BLUEPRINT OPERATES THE BLUEPRINT MATH FELLOWS PROGRAM. THE MATH FELLOWS PROGRAM IS AN INTENSIVE, DAILY, IN-SCHOOL TUTORING PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES ADDITIONAL ACADEMIC SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS IN OUR PARTNER SCHOOLS. WE SEEK TO BUILD STUDENTS' MATH SKILLS AND CONFIDENCE SO THAT THEY ACHIEVE ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND ENJOY LEARNING MATH. OUR PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO FIT THE NEEDS OF EACH SCHOOL; WHILE MANY SCHOOLS OPT FOR OUR IN-PERSON SMALL-GROUP CORE MODEL, OTHERS CHOOSE A HYBRID OR REMOTE PROGRAM MODEL. THE FOUNDATION OF THE MATH FELLOWS PROGRAM STEMS FROM OUR FRAMEWORK OF FIVE STRATEGIES THAT RECENT RESEARCH HAS IDENTIFIED AS THE BIGGEST DRIVERS OF STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT IN HIGH-PERFORMING SCHOOLS. BLUEPRINT ALSO USES THE FRAMEWORK IN AREAS OUTSIDE THE MATH FELLOWS PROGRAM. WE WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH DISTRICT AND SCHOOL LEADERS TO PLAN, IMPLEMENT, AND MONITOR WHOLE SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVES. WE BELIEVE THAT SUSTAINING AND SCALING SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT REQUIRES INVESTMENT AND CAPACITY-BUILDING AT THE DISTRICT AND SCHOOL LEVEL. THUS, OUR PARTNERSHIPS ARE DESIGNED TO LEVERAGE WHAT SCHOOLS AND DISTRICTS ARE DOING WELL AND THEN BUILD SYSTEMS AND SHARE KNOWLEDGE SO THAT OUR FRAMEWORK CAN BE IMPLEMENTED CONSISTENTLY AND WITH HIGH QUALITY AT EACH PARTNER SCHOOL BEYOND THE SCOPE OF OUR INVOLVEMENT.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
