This is a critical moment for our public education system. Over the last few years we have learned many lessons about ourselves, our students and our collective resilience as a community. There are old educational practices that will be permanently left in the past and many new ideas on how we can make our educational systems more effective for every student. Either way, after many ideas and iterations, we know that excellent teachers are going to be the cornerstone of any path forward. And yet…
We all know from experience that our teachers and schools deserve more than an apple for appreciation once per year—they deserve sustained action and support through this moment and beyond.
This year we will continue pushing for the modernization of the education profession and the conditions teachers deserve so that all of our schools can thrive in the long term.
It’s an honor to be in this work alongside you.
