It shows up in the people, communities, and systems that change when those most affected by inequities help lead the work. ALL In Education supports parents, caregivers, and community leaders to shape decisions that affect students across Arizona.
Here, you can explore our impact through data, stories, reports, policy wins, alumni outcomes, and MAPA, our research and accountability tool focused on Latino education, power, and influence in Arizona.
MAPA shows that Latino students in Arizona often attend lower-ranked schools and face gaps linked to poverty and access to opportunity. At the same time, Latino educators and school board members remain underrepresented compared with the student population.
of Arizona’s K–12 students are Latino, yet they remain severely underrepresented in their classrooms and among the adults leading them.
Latino students disproportionately attend schools that are under-resourced and achieving at lower rates than their peers.
Latino educators and school board members remain underrepresented compared with the student population they serve.
We highlight parents who have learned to navigate schools, fellows stepping into new leadership roles, and alumni using their training to improve literacy, engagement, and decision-making in their communities.
These stories show what happens when communities most affected by inequities are trusted and supported to lead. They remind us that real change begins with people.
Our alumni network stays connected with graduates of the Parent Educator Academy, Adelante Fellowship, and LISTO Academy, supporting them as they continue leading in schools, communities, and education systems across Arizona.

MAPA is ALL In Education’s annual report on the state of Latino education, power, and influence in Arizona. It is both a roadmap and an accountability tool that shows where systems are working, where they are falling short, and how we can move together toward greater opportunity and justice for all students.
ALL In Education believes that the communities most impacted by education inequities should be leading the decisions that affect every student. MAPA helps us measure how close we are to that vision and what must change for Latino students and families across the state.
Your support powers MAPA and the leadership that grows from it. When you donate to ALL In Education, you help parents and community members become leaders who are shaping the future of education in Arizona.

The 2026 MAPA Report Preview offers a first look at five years of data, leadership, and change in Arizona. It highlights how ALL In Education has worked alongside parents, students, and communities to:
Take a first look at what five years of MAPA tell us about education, power, and influence in Arizona.
MAPA evaluates, measures, and reports on how Latino students are experiencing education and where Latino communities are represented in leadership and decision-making roles. The report helps Arizona see:
Disparities in student outcomes, access to quality schools, and college completion for Latino students
Representation gaps between Latino students and Latino teachers, principals, and school board members
Progress over time, so we can see where efforts are making a difference and where more work is needed
MAPA is designed to be transparent and accessible. It is a tool that reflects on our own efforts as an organization and on the broader ecosystem that shapes education for Latino youth in Arizona.
ALL In Education partnered with LeCroy & Milligan, with support from Helios Education Foundation and the Arizona Department of Education, to evaluate the Parent Educator Academy. The Parent Educator Academy is a leadership experience that centers parents and caregivers as experts, building their capacity to navigate schools, advocate for their children, and lead change in their communities.
This evaluation focuses on the third cohort, examining design, implementation, and outcomes to identify strengths and areas for growth. Insights from the report will guide how we deepen relationships with families, expand parent leadership, and ensure systems respond to community voice.
MAPA is ALL In Education’s annual roadmap for transforming education systems so Latino students and families can thrive. The 2022–23 MAPA Report analyzes who holds power in education, how Latino students are experiencing schools, and where representation, resources, and opportunities remain inequitable.
By tracking trends year over year, MAPA helps communities and decision‑makers see where progress is happening and where systems continue to fall short for Latino students. The report informs our policy agenda, shapes our organizing strategy, and holds institutions accountable to those most impacted by their decisions.
The 2021–22 MAPA Report continues our work to name the power dynamics within Arizona’s education system and to center Latino voices in conversations about change. It examines representation on school boards and in leadership, conditions in classrooms, and the academic outcomes shaping Latino students’ futures.
The 2022 MAPA Summit, hosted by Monica Villalobos with keynote speaker Carla Vargas Jasa, convened leaders from philanthropy, economic development, and education to respond to the findings and commit to action. Their conversation highlights how Arizona’s economic future is tied to the success and leadership of Latino students and families.
The inaugural 2020–21 MAPA Report established a baseline for understanding Latino education, power, and influence in Arizona. It mapped who makes decisions, who is represented in classrooms and leadership, and how existing conditions open or close doors for Latino students.
This first report created a shared framework for communities, partners, and policymakers to measure progress over time. It continues to guide our vision for an education system where Latino students and families are not only included, but leading at every level—from the classroom to the boardroom.
COVID‑19 magnified long‑standing inequities facing Latino students and families, from access to technology and healthcare to job and income instability. This report combines statewide data with community dialogues and stories from parents, students, and educators to show how the pandemic widened opportunity gaps and deepened existing harms.
The findings urge systems leaders not to “go back to normal,” but to build schools that are responsive, culturally sustaining, and rooted in the realities of Latino communities. The report offers a blueprint for centering those most impacted in both recovery efforts and long‑term policy decisions.
