Welcome

The Learning First Alliance is a permanent partnership of 18 leading education associations with more than 10 million members dedicated to improving student learning in America's public schools. We share examples of success, encourage collaboration at every level, and work toward the continual and long-term improvement of public education based on solid research.

Our Goals
  • Public education is vital to America's democratic future and economic well-being
  • American public education must be strengthened to educate more children to higher levels than ever before in our history. Every child must have access to a public school that prepares students to participate in our democracy, as well as to lead satisfying and productive lives.
  • As those with the most significant roles in carrying out public education, LFA members can provide visionary leadership to shape its future.
