Rodel Foundation of Delaware

Rodel Foundation of Delaware The Rodel Foundation of Delaware was established in 1999 to catalyze the creation of world-class schools in Delaware. We focus on transforming public policy, incubating leading national best practices, and engaging the public on tough policy decisions. In an unprecedented public-private partnership, Rodel is working to implement Vision 2015, Delaware's comprehensive and bold public education plan.

Rodel is supporting multiple efforts central to Race to the Top and the i3 Fund, notably strategies to turn around failing schools and to expand our pipeline of effective teachers and school leaders. We also invest in Education Voters of Delaware, which mobilizes citizen action, and in 25 district and charter Vision Network schools that are committed to data-driven instruction.
