Mission & Vision

STUDENTS REPORT BEING MORE PREPARED FOR THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR BECAUSE OF BREAKTHROUGH TWIN CITIES
We currently serve 506 students enrolled in grades 7 – 12. 88% of our high school students are enrolled in at least one honors course (compared to 76% of peers in other college access programs), with 58% enrolled in 3 or more honors courses.
CLASS OF 2019 ENROLLED IN POST-SECONDARY INSTITUTIONS
100% of students in the Class of 2019 graduated high school in four years. 93% are attending four-year colleges, 5% are attending two-year colleges, and 2% are serving our country in the US Military.
TEACHING FELLOWS REPORT A REINFORCED INTEREST IN TEACHING AS A CAREER GOAL BECAUSE OF BREAKTHROUGH TWIN CITIES
During the summer of 2020, we employed 46 Teaching Fellows. 63% of them identified as people of color (compared to 4.2% of teachers in Minnesota). 32% identified as male (compared to 27% of teachers in Minnesota).
TEACHING FELLOWS REPORT THAT THEY INCREASED THEIR TEACHING SKILLS THROUGH OUR FELLOWSHIP
Our 8 Instructional Coaches worked individually to support Teaching Fellows, by giving feedback on lesson plans and observations, and by working to tailor curriculum and instruction collaboratively.
BREAKTHROUGH IS EXPANDING!
By expanding to new sites, we are able to serve more students and have more positions for Teaching Fellows.
