We are a public charity founded by educators for educators to improve public education for all students.

The NEA Foundation is a national nonprofit and philanthropic organization based in Washington, DC. Founded by educators, our mission is to work in partnership with others to promote the absolute best in public education. We believe that the most innovative and effective policies and strategies emanate from educators engaged in authentic partnership with policymakers, students, parents, and others who are committed to educational equity, excellence, and opportunity. Through the transformative power of these partnerships, we believe we can improve both students' and communities' educational experiences.

Lindbergh High School AP/IB students will utilize new technology to expand their scope of laboratory preparedness, think critically in team settings, and instill an exploratory sense of science. Students will benefit from new laboratory equipment by engaging in new and rigorous learning opportunities and will use new software technology to analyze their data. Mr. Edwards will take student data to other AP/IB science disciplines and work with colleagues to better enhance learning opportunities across all grade levels.
