THE ALI IMPACT Fourteen years ago, Abbott Leadership Institute located on the Rutgers Newark Campus,
began its journey with 19 parents and one teacher in a small classroom in the Cornwall Center.
Our goal - to build a base of informed and empowered stakeholders for the Newark Public School system.
Our mission - to increase parent engagement as encouraged by Abbott V. Burke, and to educate parents in the methods for effectively working with educators to ensure all of Newark’s children are receiving a good education. Over the years, we have made many steps towards progress, but the current climate of education reform and "fixes" makes the need for the informed parent voice even greater, and more urgent.
