Delaware is in the House!
Last week Tamara Smith, Executive Director of TFA Delaware, was invited to a White House event for Delaware elected and community leaders. President Biden dropped in as a surprise ✨
At this year's ASU+GSV Summit, TFA leaders Elisa Villanueva Beard and Jemina, with moderator Barbara Logan Smith, offered unique perspectives on leading a national education nonprofit through change and uncertainty and sustaining impact over time 💪
Another ASU+GSV Summit highlight so far: Teach For America alums Kaya Henderson and Cami Anderson in a thoughtful conversation about Cami’s reflections on leading Newark Public Schools, published in “A Nation At Risk +40” bit.ly/49FABCH
Tue 4/16 at ASU+GSV Summit: I'll join Teach For America President & COO Jemina Bernard and Chief of Equity & Belonging Barbara Logan Smith to discuss leading through the challenges of a dynamic education landscape while sustaining TFA’s vision, mission & impact. Hope to see you there!
So glad to see more attention on the rise in student absenteeism, including Sarah Mervosh’s The New York Times article. #ChronicAbsenteeism has serious implications for students’ learning. States and districts need actionable data to address this crisis. nyti.ms/49CQ1HA 1/3
Aberdeen Rodriguez kicked off a three-generation tradition of students of Teach For America corps members returning to teach in the Rio Grande Valley, where I was born and raised🤎Read the inspiring story here: bit.ly/3J9DEba #educationalequity #proudteacher
To prepare students to enter the #skilledworkforce in #STEM fields, we need to create more opportunities for educators like Teach For America alum Maha Hasen (NY '15), who grew #computerscience programs with FutureReadyNYC work experiences in her Bronx HS. bit.ly/4aw0V2V
Congratulations to the incredible Christina Grant, a fierce, steady, visionary leader and inspiring fellow Teach For America alum. I’m excited for the impact she’ll drive at Harvard CEPR in this next phase of her career.
Love this quote from Teach For America alum Hana Boscarino in @edweek: “Even the worst days in my classroom, I can think back to so many moments on that same day that were amazing because of my students, and I think that triumphs every challenge I’ve had.” bit.ly/49NqOeI
This #AmeriCorpsWeek , I’m celebrating the systems-changing impact of Teach For America alums like IPS supt. Dr. Aleesia Johnson. She's bringing Algebra 1, Band, World Languages & Comp Sci to all students in stand-alone middle schools: bit.ly/4a7lX7O
