Our History

Supported by an initial grant from Battelle Memorial Institute, BFK was established in 2001 by the Ohio Business Roundtable to advance student achievement and growth in Ohio. In 2005, BFK became an independent, national not-for-profit organization focused on developing innovative services and solutions that empower and support teachers, leaders, and school systems to reach every learner.

Partnerships

In 2017, BFK welcomed EdLeader21, the premier national network for education transformation, dedicated to accelerating the implementation of 21st century, deeper learning. The Partnership for 21st Century Learning (P21), early pioneers in 21st century learning, joined the BFK family in 2018, further advancing our strategic partnerships and innovative resources for educators.

We also work alongside other future focused education organizations throughout the nation as we work together to transform education.
